MORE THAN 1,700 MCPS EMPLOYEES MISS DEADLINE TO REPORT VACCINATION STATUS

More than 1,700 Montgomery County Public School employees have not reported their vaccination status as of Nov. 15, and the school district is extending their already-pushed-back deadline for reporting before issuing disciplinary measures.

As of the morning of Nov. 15, 1,782 employees had yet to report their vaccination status, according to MCPS Director of Communications Chris Cram.

On Sept. 9, the Montgomery County Board of Education unanimously passed a resolution mandating that all school district staff must be vaccinated against COVID-19, with a deadline of Oct. 29 to electronically report vaccination status.
