The health officer of Montgomery County, Maryland, ordered nonpublic schools, including "Private pay schools" and "Schools affiliated with religious institutions," to remain closed for in-school instruction through October 1.
The Montgomery County public school district recently announced it would not open for in-school instruction for the fall semester but will offer virtual instruction.
I strongly disagree with Montgomery County's decision to mandate the closure of private and parochial schools.
As long as these schools develop safe plans that follow CDC and state guidelines, they should be empowered to do what's best for their community.
Katie Calidas, a parent of two children who attend St. Elizabeth's, a Montgomery County Catholic school, told the Washington Examiner her family was "Incredibly caught off guard last night with the announcement, especially after Hogan condoned opening, and CDC gave the OK.".
According to the Standard, Archbishop Wilton Gregory and the archdiocesan Catholic schools office have been working jointly with school pastors and principals to finalize plans for the reopening of the schools.
Great care has been taken by our school leaders to create reopening plans that follow all current state and national guidelines for reopening schools.
