BEL AIR â Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) will begin a return to in-person learning with elementary students starting once a week on March 1, district leadership announced Monday. The decision came days after Gov. Larry Hogan urged schools around the state to get students back in classrooms, setting March 1 as a deadline to begin the reopening process.
In a meeting Monday night, members of the Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) Board of Education discussed the plan, as well as the sharply polarized response to reopening from parents and community members.
HCPS Superintendent Sean Bulson explained that the districtâs decisions regarding reopening were previously guided by specific metrics â districts in counties with a seven day COVID-19 testing positivity rate above five percent or a seven day new case rate above 15 per 100,000 people were advised to stick with virtual learning.
