MCPS Says Face Coverings/Masks will be provided for students, but at Gaithersburg Elementary teachers are providing their own supply of masks to students.

 

The Montgomery County Public Schools website has a COVID-19 Information webpage.   

Under the section titled HEALTH AND SAFETY PROCEDURES, the Board of Education lists what will be done by MCPS building services staff during this COVID-19 pandemic.  The information posted to the MCPS website is shown in the image.   

The Parents' Coalition has been looking into what these Health and Safety Procedures look like in actual schools. 

We have been informed that at Gaithersburg Elementary School classroom teachers are using their personal supply of PPE/masks to supply their students.  Teachers are also supplying paper towels to the school. 

Why isn't the Board of Education doing what they have promised?
