The state released updated guidance for school districts to begin offering some form of hybrid, in person learning. State Superintendent of Schools Karen Salmon also announced at Thursday’s news briefing $780 million in federal relief for school systems to address learning loss issues caused by the pandemic.
Hogan and Salmon sent a letter to Maryland State Education Association asking teacher union leaders to support the March 1 goal.
“It is estimated that by the end of this upcoming school year, the cumulative learning loss for students could equate to five to nine months on average with the losses disproportionately impacting students of color and low-income students,” the letter says. “Studies have indicated that school reopenings do not significantly increase community spread or contribute to rising hospitalization rates.”

MarylandGov. Larry Hogan is going all in on a push to reopen schools in the state for hybrid learning by the beginning of March.
Hogan said during a news conference at St. John’s College in Annapolis on Thursday that there is a growing consensus in the state and in the country that there is no public health reason for county school boards to keep students out of schools due to COVID-19.
He argued that continuing down a path of virtual learning could lead to significant setbacks for students, especially among students of color and those from low-income families.
