[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was watching the press conference but had to drop - there was a report the Superintendent was waving around.  Does that contain the information about school not coming back until MD reaches Stage 3?  Anyone know where we can find that report?[/quote]

Did she actually say anything about phase 3? Phase 3 is all undefined anyway. Just like the rest of it. I’m guessing they start rushing the phases as people get tired of this. They’re already starting to.[/quote]

The report hasn't been posted yet. Hopefully in the next day or two. Hogan is following Hopkins' 3 phase guidance (https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MD_Strong.pdf) which states that schools can start to open during Phase II but with physical distancing limitations.

Phase III is outlined in this document as looking forward to a time when a vaccine is available. WTF?! Did they really say phase 3 in the press conference?

PP advice again - this doc on page 10 outlines in more detail: https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/National-Coronavirus-Response-a-Road-Map-to-Recovering-2.pdf [/quote]

That was meant to say PP above not advice. Can anyone clarify exactly what they said about phase III? I missed the press conference.[/quote]

I re-listened to the press conference. She said that schools will not reopen fully, e.g., resume normal operations, until Phase III. The report that she mentioned gives guidelines for alternative schedules, online delivery, only certain students returning, etc. that would happen in Phase II.

Regarding specifics for Phase III, all published reports/guidance for governors assume this is when a vaccine is available.[/quote]
