How Baltimore County Public Schools was making decisions when school opened after winter break.

COVID-19 School Status 

BCPS may move individual schools or groups of schools to virtual learning after reviewing a number of factors (e.g., percent of positive student and staff cases, number of staff, and students in quarantine, and special program considerations) in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Health, Maryland State Department of Education, and/or the Baltimore County Department of Health. These closures will be tracked here. Factors considered during collaborative team discussions regarding a move to virtual instruction include but are not limited to:

 • # of staff testing positive* 

• # of students testing positive* 

• # of staff in quarantine • # of students in quarantine 

• # of staffing vacancies 

• Special program considerations
