BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. — A number of Baltimore County schools have been moving in and out of virtual learning amid a spike in COVID-19 outbreaks among staff and students.
According to the school system, a number of factors are considered prior to making the determination of whether or not a school goes virtual.
Such factors include but are not limited to the following:
- # of staff testing positive*
- # of students testing positive*
- # of staff in quarantine
- # of students in quarantine
- # of staffing vacancies
- Special program considerations
- Additional Information
Another consideration is when five percent or more of unrelated students/teachers/staff (minimum of 10 of these individuals) test positive for COVID-19 in a 14-day period. The five percent threshold does not however, automatically result in school closure.
Here is a current list of Baltimore County Schools who are currently operating virtually.
