A growing consensus has emerged, both here in Maryland and across the country, that there is no public health reason for county school boards to keep students out of schools. Public health data has indicated that school reopenings do not increase community spread or contribute to increased hospitalization rates. With continued vigilance, better treatments, and nearly 300,000 doses of vaccines administered, it is abundantly clear that the toll of keeping students out of school far exceeds any potential risk of having students in school where they belong.

The American Academy of Pediatrics said earlier this month that children absolutely need to return to in-school learning for their healthy development and well-being.

Today, we are urgently calling on all county school systems to immediately make every effort to return to hybrid in-person instruction no later than Monday, March 1, if not sooner. MSDE has approved safe and effective reopening plans for all 24 school systems, and while no school system has indicated that they have a need for any additional PPE before reopening, we have provided millions of units of PPE and made tests abundantly available. Maryland has prioritized COVID-19 vaccinations for teachers and education staff, and that process is already underway.

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. By law, these decisions to reopen the schools ultimately rest with the duly elected and appointed county school boards, but I want to be perfectly clear: I will do everything I possibly can do within the law to push to get all of Maryland’s children back into the classrooms. I call on every leader in the state to join me and President Biden in making this an immediate priority. ... See MoreSee Less
