Governor Hogan, State Superintendent Call On Maryland Schools to Reopen for Hybrid In-Person Learning By March 1^st

State Health Officials Provide School Reopening Protocols
Union Leaders Asked to Aid Effort to Get Students Back Into Classrooms
President Biden Signs Executive Order Supporting Safe Reopening of Schools

Governor Larry Hogan and State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Karen Salmon today called on all Maryland school systems to return to hybrid instruction—a combination of in-person and virtual learning—no later than Monday, March 1.

“Every single Maryland student must have at least the opportunity to return to attending school in some form or fashion,” said Governor Hogan. “Our children simply cannot afford any more endless roadblocks, or any more moving of the goalposts. The time has come to get all of our kids back in the classroom, and to open the schools.”

Earlier today, President Biden signed an executive order to support students and safely reopen schools. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser, has said, “the default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school, or to get them back to school.” The American Academy of Pediatrics recently stated, “Children absolutely need to return to in-school learning for their healthy development and well-being, and so safety in schools and in the community must be a priority.”

Wednesday, January 20th, 2021:

COVID-19 Vaccine and Priority Group Information:

“Here is how the process works for Montgomery County residents:

We will schedule clinics when we have the vaccine on-hand; however, each week we are only given 2 to 3 days’ notice about the amount and the delivery date of the doses for that week, and we cannot schedule clinics until we know that information.
On a weekly basis, we receive an average of 7,500 doses.
- To date, we have received 19,700 doses of vaccine (and there are about 750,000 people eligible for these doses).
- We have used 92% of the vaccine to reach those in the first priority group (1A), which includes frontline health care workers NOT affiliated with a hospital and public safety staff.
- We are coordinating with local hospitals to explore distributing any additional vaccine they have available.”
