Carroll schools will not need to shift large numbers of staff, as superintendent predicted

Despite prior warnings, the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future will not require Carroll County to move large numbers of teachers from some schools to staff others, Assistant Superintendent of Operations and Blueprint Coordinator Jon O’Neal told the county school board on Dec. 13. Superintendent Cynthia McCabe previously had said to expect teachers to be shifted to schools with higher concentrations of students who receive free or reduced-price meals and those deemed to have special needs to help recover from COVID-19 pandemic learning losses.
