    Remarkable: Maryland, despite having a governor who's been banging the drum for school reopening for months, is now literally last in the country for its share of in-person instruction.https://twitter.com/oranje_mama/status/1363597188807409666 …

        Another striking fact: of the 19 states with the lowest share of in-person instruction, all but two are led by Democratic governors. Those two are West Virginia and, in last place, Maryland.

        it takes a Nixon-to-China moment -- like Raimondo in Rhode Island -- to actually make inroads on opening schools.

        Hogan completely kicked the can to districts in the summer. Predictably, every district then opted to start full remote. After that, he came out strong that they should be opening - districts felt betrayed. He was also slow to pushback/encourage reopning during winter closures.

        He's always been weeks to months late with his pushes for schools being open and it's raised tensions and caused confusion. He should have been more proactive from the start.

        It's basically been left up to the counties here. Prior to the winter surge, the smaller, rural redder counties were partially in person. Reopening resumes 3/1 and it's the low pop. rural counties will resume in person while the big ones that make up Bmore and DC area will close.

        Is that for full time instruction? MD numbers should jump next week if hybrid is included. Either way; it’s been quite a mess

        Pretty sure this is for any in-person at all.

        This is a great map and if it could be done by county/district would be even more revealing. What source?
