Board of Education Request Essential Status for Teachers Getting COVID-19 Vaccine

Board of Education Request ‘Essential’ Status for Teachers Getting COVID-19 Vaccine The Montgomery County Board of Education sent a letter to Governor Larry Hogan on Tuesday advocating that all Maryland pre-kindergarten through grade 12 educators be considered essential for receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in Phase 1B. “Providing the early vaccination of those entrusted with educating and caring for Maryland’s students will ensure a safe and speedy return to in-person instruction for students in Montgomery County and throughout the state,” the letter stated. The MCPS BOE also emphasized that although some students are thriving with virtual learning, many students need the in-person experience with their teachers to meet their full potential. The letter also stated that the COVID-19 test positivity rate continues to rise both locally and state-wide – delaying a safe return to in-person learning under reopening guidance provided by the state.
