[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody understand how much leeway the county will have to implement a plan as opposed to a mandate from the State Dept of Ed (Salmon)?
And, to what degree do the pronouncements of the State Dept of Ed impact private schools in Maryland?

I understand that private schools have more leeway, but how much?  Can State Dept of Ed &quot;mandate&quot; DL?  Or just recommend it?  And if State Dept of Ed recommends DL, and MoCo implements 100% DL, could private schools in MoCo do something different (hybrid or fully in-person)?[/quote]

The state is unlikely to mandate DL. They will leave it to the counties. There's no need to have DL in rural counties with &lt; 100 cases.

The state's plan so far are _guidelines_ not requirements. Then the local school district can decide how to proceed.[/quote]

Those counties are also less likely to be able to do DL due to poverty and lack of internet coverage. We spent my birthday weekend in a vacation rental in Dorchester. The coverage was so spotty.[/quote]

Their schoosl have been closed by state order since mid-March, like everywehre else in MD. I agree internet is an issue there -- a lot of those school systems just gave out paper packets and had the kids turn them in at the end of the semester.[/quote]
