Exclusive: MCPS has had to Close 9 School Buildings Due to COVID-19

The Parents' Coalition of Montgomery County, Maryland filed a Maryland Public Information Act request with Montgomery County Public Schools for the following information:

the list of MCPS schools and buildings that have been closed
this year due to positive test results from MCPS teachers and staff.

In response to that request, we were informed that the school buildings listed below have been closed due to positive COVID-19 test results from MCPS teachers and staff.  This list is as of September 10, 2020.  

We filed this request after receiving information from community members about the closure of MCPS buildings.  Our MPIA request was to obtain confirmation of the information we were receiving from the community.

Note that this is a list of school buildings that were closed when students were not using the buildings for public school classes. The buildings were being used by maintenance staff, administrators, food service staff, and the community (for example, cooling centers, day care centers).

  1. I am not sure where this information came from, work at one of the schools listed and the building is open according MCPS guidelines.

    1. The information came from Montgomery County Public Schools, Derek Turner chief of innovations, engagement and operations.

      What "guidelines" is your school using?

    2. It may be that the schools closed at the time or were closed for a period of time and are open now
