I'm not sure if this is the right forum, so feel free to move/report if needed.
Gov. Hogan will have a conference today with Dr. Salmon and I will be taking notes. Any guesses as to what it will be about? Maybe moving the school year back? Longer days? |

He’s clearly pissed at the counties that didn’t submit plans. And he should be.
It’s borderline criminal that MoCo hasn’t even tried to get kids back in any form, even the SN kids. |

| Authority and decision making rests with the county BOE but it needs to be based on State bench mark and metrics. |
