BALTIMORE (AP) - Some Maryland school board members say they may have found a loophole to Gov. Larry Hogan’s executive order to start all public schools after Labor Day.
The Baltimore Sun reports state board members learned Tuesday the law fails to define a category of schools that could receive an “at-risk” waiver.
Amelia Chasse, Hogan’s spokeswoman, says the issue of at-risk schools is an extremely serious one, and the administration trusts the board will treat it with the gravity it deserves.
Board members asked staff to research whether an official definition of at-risk schools had ever been established.
An at-risk school also would have to propose an innovative schedule that would need to be approved to get a waiver.
