Updated Mask Mandates in Maryland Schools: Masks optional in Carroll County; Masks required in Harford and Kent Counties

SEE THE LATEST UPDATES HERE


As an update to “Mask Mandates in Maryland Schools: What we know up to this point“ where I have provided updates on August 2nd5th, 8th and 11th…so now that it is the 14th I thought this would be a good time to provide additional information about other school systems in Maryland (keeping with my every 3 days update model).

I wrote earlier this week Carroll County Board of Education keeps masks optional for the start of the 2021-2022 school year for CCPS

Also noted this week was Harford County schools would require masks:

Kent County schools will also require masks this school year:

A few other jurisdictions I have seen updates about:

  • Caroline County Schools “At this time, wearing a mask on school property will remain the personal choice of students and staff.” (Read More)
  • In Dorchester County “Unvaccinated students and staff to wear masks in all facilities” (Read More)

Here is my updated list of school systems that have I have seen updates on relating to masks:
