A Montgomery County elementary school teacher accused of selling fentanyl pills to a man who later overdosed was indicted Thursday and remains locked up after a recent overdose herself, according to court filings.

“It is objectively dangerous to our community to be engaged in this sort of activity,” prosecutor Kimberly Cissel said at a recent hearing for the teacher, Sarah Magid, 34.

The indictment tracks with earlier charges filed in the case by police in August. Magid faces counts of distribution of fentanyl and other charges.

Magid, who had taught first grade at Dr. Charles Drew Elementary School in Silver Spring, has been placed on leave. The indictment Thursday moves the case from district court to circuit court.

No trial date has been set. But in recent hearings, her attorneys have signaled what their defense will be: Magid shared pills only to support her habit, was devastated by the man’s death, and needs treatment not incarceration, according to her attorney, David Moyse.

Unsurprisingly, MCPS is remaining silent on what it did or didn't know about her activities, even though investigators confirmed she left the classroom to drug deal, which means she had the drugs on her while she was in school.

Is the AP and Principal still at this school? The Director? What are families of 1st graders planning to do? Get a lawyer and ?

No one in administration at the school or district has been disciplined or punished for Magid's illegal activities, which happened on school premises.

What evidence is there that anyone else at the school or district knew anything about Magid's illegal activities?

I'd be more concerned if they literally didn't know. How stupid and clocked out do you have to be not to realize an elementary teacher is dealing drugs

No one in administration at the school or district has been disciplined or punished for Magid's illegal activities, which happened on school premises.

What evidence is there that anyone else at the school or district knew anything about Magid's illegal activities?

Sarah Katherine Magid, a first-grade teacher from Burtonsville, has been charged with distributing fentanyl that led to a victim’s death. Evidence includes text messages between Magid and the victim and reports of drug sales during school hours, with potential sentencing ranging from 20 years to life if convicted.

Per the news release: “The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland has filed a criminal complaint against Sarah Katherine Magid, 34, of Burtonsville, Maryland. Magid is charged with distributing fentanyl that resulted in serious bodily injury and the death of a victim. The criminal complaint was unsealed on November 13, 2024, as Magid appeared in the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gina L. Simms.

Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the charge with Special Agent in Charge Jarod Forget, Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington Division, and Chief Marc R. Yamada, Montgomery County Police Department.

After the death of the victim in March 2024, law enforcement discovered text messages between the victim and Magid pertaining to the distribution of fentanyl. Specifically, a forensic analysis of the victim’s cell phone revealed a text conversation and subsequent meeting between Magid and the victim. The messages uncovered a drug transaction involving pills that had been pressed to appear like oxycodone hydrochloride 30 mg pills but actually contained fentanyl. After the meeting and transaction, the victim was found deceased. The Washington, D.C., Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the victim’s cause of death was fentanyl toxicity.

Additionally, in July 2024, a complainant reported to law enforcement that Magid, a Montgomery County first-grade schoolteacher, exited her classroom to sell drugs to people outside of the school. Law enforcement subsequently identified text messages from Magid’s phone indicating that she dealt drugs during work hours.

If convicted, Magid faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years imprisonment up to a maximum sentence of life in federal prison for the distribution of fentanyl resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine the sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

A criminal complaint is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by a criminal complaint is presumed innocent unless and/or until proven guilty at later criminal proceedings.

The law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation are all partners in the recently announced Maryland Fatal Fentanyl Overdose Task Force (“MFOTFF”). Led and coordinated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland and the DEA’s Washington Division, the task force is focused on raising awareness of the dangers of fentanyl, as well as creating connections between local, state, and federal authorities to increase prosecutions of overdose-death cases in Maryland. A Public Service Announcement created for MFFOTF is available online.

U.S. Attorney Barron commended the DEA and the Montgomery County Police Department for their work in the investigation and thanked the Metropolitan Police Department and the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office for their assistance. Mr. Barron also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Megan S. McKoy and Elizabeth Wright who are prosecuting this federal case.

What makes you think they didn't? Do you think the investigators did not get intel from anyone who was school staff?

If there's no evidence, then you're just spreading rumors about people.

Who spread rumors? Did we not read a whole Washington Post article where the investigators said she was dealing drugs from her classroom? Is the Washington Post a rumor mill?

The rumors about the AP, principal, and director.

Who spread rumors about them??? I do think it's hard to believe no one knew in admin knew that someone with the kind of track record Magid had of drug use and abuse was using and dealing on their campus.

But you know the best way to put rumors to bed? If MCPS opened up an investigation to find out who knew what and when with regard Sarah Magid's activities. But something tells me you're not interested in learning the truth.

I literally asked if there was any evidence. You have not answered the question, so I will take that as a no.

I don't have evidence because I don't work for MCPS and I'm not an investigator. The investigators working the case for MPD and MCPD probably have the evidence you're looking for though.
