ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — As schools continue to debate when to reopen for in-person learning, Gov. Larry Hogan said “there really is no excuse for not trying to bring kids back” into the classroom.
Hogan made the comments Thursday afternoon during a news conference in which officials announced child care providers can return to normal capacity as health metrics improve.

“We’ve been visiting schools all across the state where teachers are back in public schools, and they are teaching kids and the teachers are very enthused and excited to be back in there with their kids,” Hogan said. “And I hear from teachers every day, who are dying to get back in the classroom but the union obviously has taken a pretty strong position that in many cases they don’t want to go back really ever until this whole thing is gone.”

Despite Hogan’s comments, teachers remain concerned about reopening schools too early.
“Their anxiety levels and stress levels are through the roof,” said Teresa McCulloh of the Carroll County Education Association. “We are concerned with masking, the cleaning and sanitizing and maintaining the six-foot social distancing.”
