I'm surprised they waited this long to announce this.

I'm pro-reopening when the numbers improve and am for continuing to plan for reopening at some point sooner rather than later, but opening for in person now would have been completely irresponsible. Good decision, even though I know that some will be disappointed.

Carroll County schools voted last night to send students back to hybrid this week due to too many students failing. Could they pick a worse time?

While in one way, I admire the commitment to giving students and in-person learning experience, the timing is shocking.

It’s clearly a political decision and not about a commitment to learning.

I'm a Frederick parent who's a bit gobsmacked they are only delaying the start of full hybrid by 2 weeks (from Jan 28 to Feb 16). I signed my kid up for hybrid thinking they'd be cautious since they didn't even consider starting in person in the fall, but with these rates, no way. (My kid is in K and I believe would benefit from in person learning, which is why I didn't vote to stay virtual regardless, but by forcing parents to make a choice before providing metrics, they are making us try to guess what line they will draw. And I guessed wrong, apparently.)
