Since Montgomery County Public Schools began “preventative” COVID-19 testing of students and teachers, there have been only two positive results, according to school district leaders.
On March 25, as part of a partnership with Ginkgo Bioworks, of Boston, Mass., MCPS began rolling out what it calls “pool” COVID-19 tests to identify asymptomatic spread of the virus in its schools.
Each week, students and staff members in chosen classrooms swab their noses and put all of the swabs into a single test tube. The tube is then tested for COVID-19, and if a positive result is reported, the people included are asked to complete an individual test.

A post that circulated on social media on Sunday night alleging sexual assaults at four Montgomery County Public Schools was “completely false,” district officials said Monday morning.
The fake post was made on several social media platforms. It was written as if it was sent by the school district to inform families of ongoing investigations into sexual assault allegations at Sherwood Elementary, Galway Elementary, Greenway Elementary and William Farquhar Middle School.
The post said all activities at the schools would be canceled while the alleged investigations continued.

Aiming to address overcrowding at both Sherwood and Westgate elementary schools, the Edmonds School District Tuesday announced its plans to repurpose the former Woodway Elementary School campus to house kindergarten students from both schools.
The district’s Capacity Advisory Committee recently voted to recommend that the superintendent approve the creation of a kindergarten campus in the former Woodway Elementary School building, located at 9521 240th St. S.W. in Edmonds. The site will open its doors to students at the start of the 2021-22 school year.
