From Harford County Public Schools:
The following message is being sent via our mass communication system and is posted on the HCPS website.
As you may be aware, at a press conference held today at 4:15 p.m., State Superintendent Karen Salmon announced that all Maryland public school systems, including Harford County Public Schools, will be closed March 16 through March 27, 2020.
All school sanctioned travel is canceled effective immediately.
During this time of closure, buildings and school buses will be cleaned and disinfected. Tomorrow, Friday, March 13, 2020, there will be no school-sanctioned travel, which includes field trips, and there will be no afterschool/evening activities.
Tomorrow, your student will bring home instructional materials to be completed during the system-wide closure. This information will be accessible on HCPS.org. This is an evolving situation and we will provide additional information as it becomes available. Staff will receive additional guidance as soon as possible.
As Governor Hogan stated in his press conference, “we are all in this together,” and we appreciate your patience and understanding at this time. Thank you.
Gov Hogan is showing more leadership on this than the politicians of both parties in Washington.
I agree with you 100%. Our governor rises above politics. He is a leader!
More time off for overpaid baby sitters. We cant work in snow, we cant work when it is hot, we cant work when it may snow, we cant work when its cold, we cant work in the summer.
Ironically, these are the same bunch of people that want salaries that are equivalent to year-round employees yer they only work nine months out of the year.
For a nine month a year job and time off for every excuse in the world, i would say teachers are paid quite well considering i have to drag my ass to work tomorrow, during, rain, snow, ice, cold, heat and fear of virus contamination.
What a ignorant answer lol it was the government not HCPS sounds like someone got rejected as a teacher applicant . Teachers have nothing to do with it drink some Kool aid and go get some Tiolet paper
You’d have to be some serious reject to not get hired in HCPS.
Is there a way to deliver the virus to certain people? Just thinking out loud.
Only the custodians will be exposed everybody else it’s ok to stay home
The lies and cover up by trump needs to end
What?
Trump 2020 so shhhh or jump off conowingo
Just causing more panic. Hell,you can’t even buy a roll of shit paper in the store
One more time, why are the schools closing? Kids seem to have little to NO risk of the virus. Are we really protecting the teachers? Whom are we protecting? Hogan is nothing but a governmental lackey who is falling prey to the conspiracy of this virus….https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-death-age-older-people-higher-risk-2020-2
Who ARE we protecting? Conspiracy virus keeps spreading…more and more people believe their doctors when they are told they have it. Why are the schools still closed? Are they going to keep them closed? Are they trying to prevent the teachers from conspiring to spread the rumors about this so-called virus? Kids have little to no risk of conspiring…would their teachers indoctrinate them to believe what their doctors tell them? Hogan is a governmental lackey who is falling prey to the conspiracy of this virus…
