ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY — The fall sports season is causing some controversy in Anne Arundel county.
Superintendent Mark Bedell sent out a letter to parents saying he's fed up with fights at school athletic events.
Bedell says there have been several instances requiring extra school staff and police resources at events.
The superintendent introduced new policies to keep the focus on the field.
Starting Friday, all middle and elementary school students at athletic events must be accompanied by an adult.
Anyone engaging in violence will be removed and banned from extracurricular events for 90 days even student-athletes.
