MARYLAND – For some students in Maryland, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on high school sports has been devastating. “Kids are probably seeing the most lost they’ve ever seen. Without having sports to give them a drive and keep them motivated, it’s been an uphill battle trying to keep kids in the mindset of trying to further their academics and also further their sports,” said owner of One More Rep JD Cherry.
Cherry says he thinks there’s pros and cons to a pair of bills introduced in the Maryland General Assembly. “If that’s going to help them get to the next level then that may be beneficial. If it’s something where I just graduated and I haven’t been doing anything and I wanted to play again, that’s going to be kind of questionable,” said Cherry.

MARYLAND – Monday Governor Larry Hogan announced an additional $20.7 million relief fund as schools work to get students back into the classroom.
The relief fund is split three ways, the competitive innovation grants, community college workforce development programs, independent colleges and schools for the deaf and blind.
Governor Hogan says the goal for this relief fund is to help schools do the most good for their students. Director of Leadership and School Improvement for Dorchester County Public Schools, Regina Teat says this relief fund could not have come at a better time.

SALISBURY, Md. – Often times teachers are the first to report at-home abuse.
But as remote learning has taken over and face-to-face interactions have become limited, some experts say many cases may be going undetected.
Child abuse reports are down in the state of Maryland, but again that doesn’t mean the abuse itself isn’t happening.
Psychologist, Dr. Kathy Seifert, argues there could be much more going on behind closed doors.
“Often child abuse and neglect is something that happens at home or in the neighborhood and so the numbers are down because so many times it’s going to be a teacher or counselor at school to report the problem,” said Dr. Seifert.
