State Board Update
February 22, 2022
A Step Forward...
Today the Maryland State Board of Education voted to begin the process of moving the decision of masking in schools back to the control of the local Boards of Education effective March 1, 2022. This will now move back to the joint Administrative, Executive, and Legislative Review (AELR) committee, which must vote in order to put this fully into effect. We will continue to keep our families and employees informed as we receive more information on this decision.
“In Cecil County, we have been a leading voice in promoting the need for local control in this matter. Our board is pleased with this decision and we look forward to additional details from the state in moving this action forward.”
- Diana Hawley, President, Board of Education of Cecil County.
