PERRY HALL, MD — As multiple Maryland school districts start announcing their reopening plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the state's largest counties has yet to publish a date of when in-person learning of some form will begin. Gov. Larry Hogan has called on all schools to be open or working in that direction, but Baltimore County Schools students are still virtual. On the schools' website, next to the dates February-June 2021 it states, "If it is safe to do so, BCPS will implement a hybrid instructional model with in-person and virtual learning. Full-time virtual learning will remain an option for parents." Parents say no firm date has been set. The "Re-Open BCPS" group has now taken on the title of the Baltimore County Parents and Students Coalition and has partnered with the 501(C)3 "Respect the Constitution" to file a legal claim demanding a start date from the Baltimore County superintendent and administration.
