I have received many questions specifically about masking. The updated plan and guidance includes the following update on mask requirements:

“BCPS supports the right of all staff and students to choose to wear masks for personal safety.

In accordance with the Governor’s order, masks are not required as of July 1, 2021, in any school or office.

“In accordance with the February 1, 2021, CDC order, masks must be worn by all occupants on school buses unless the driver and attendant are alone.
