Somerset County: Here is a post on social media from August 30th:

While not in the title of that article Dorchester County is noted in the article link above. There is also this social media post from Dorchester Public Schools on august 30th.
Reported by Fox 45 Baltimore on August 30th: Gov. Hogan says he will not waive waiting period to implement mandatory masks in schools.
“The legislative panel has a scheduled hearing for Sept. 14 at 10 a.m. to vote to require masking in all Maryland schools. The meeting will be held virtually.”
