As a reminder, the Maryland Dashboard uses the following criteria for reporting COVID-19 cases.  Not all cases are reported, only those that satisfy the following criteria.

  Note: This dataset reflects public and non-public K-12 schools in Maryland that have COVID-19 outbreaks. Data are based on local health department reports to MDH, which may be revised if additional information becomes available. This list does not include child care facilities or institutes of higher education.

Schools listed meet 1 or more of the following criteria:

    1) At least two confirmed COVID-19 cases among students/teachers/staff within a 14-day period and who are epidemiologically linked, but not household contacts; or

    2) Three or more classrooms or cohorts with cases from separate households that meet the classroom/cohort outbreak definition that occurs within 14 days; or

    3) Five percent or more unrelated students/teachers/staff have confirmed COVID-19 within a 14 day period (minimum of 10 unrelated students/teachers/staff).

Cases reported reflect the current total number of cases. Schools are removed from the list when health officials determine 14 days have passed with no new cases and no tests pending. Archival data is available through the COVID-19 open data catalogue.

These data are updated weekly on Wednesdays during the 10 a.m. hour. MDH is continuously evaluating its data and reporting systems and will make updates as more data becomes available.

Detectives Charge Former High School Teacher for Sex Offense #RockvilleHS #CharlesESmithJewishDay #sexualabuse

Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department –  Special Victims Investigations Division (SVID) have arrested and charged Michael John Riley, age 63, of the 200 block of Deer Run Drive in Walkersville, with sexual abuse offenses for his involvement in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student that occurred during the 1984 to 1985 academic school year at Rockville High School.  The sexual relationship occurred while Riley was employed as a teacher at Rockville High School located at 2100 Baltimore Road in Rockville.  Riley is currently a staff member at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School located at 1901 East Jefferson Street in Rockville.

On April 20, 2018, detectives began investigating the report that Riley had an ongoing and inappropriate sexual relationship with the victim during the 1984 to 1985 school year.  The victim stated to investigators that at that time, she was a student at Rockville High School and that she knew Riley from his employment at the school.  The victim further stated that on multiple occasions, Riley engaged in sexual intercourse with her in the school and during school hours.

On April 24, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Riley, charging him with child abuse by a custodian, school molestation on premises, and school molestation by staff.  This afternoon (May 1), Riley turned himself into detectives and was transported to the Central Processing Unit.  Bond information for Riley is not yet available.

Detectives are requesting that parents of students who attend the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, where Riley is currently a staff member, talk to their children about their interactions with him and contact SVID detectives at 240-773-5400 if they believe their child was victimized.
