FCPS has mismanaged school reopening plan

Frederick County Public Schools appears to be marching blindly toward a partial reopening, its so-called “hybrid model” in February, despite alarming virus trends. Ironically and sadly, FCPS shared its latest “go orders” with teachers and staff on the day Frederick County experienced its highest COVID hospitalization rate — so far. They’re charging forward without having offered the community any detailed plan for how schools will operate safely — though other systems across the country have managed this task.
