It has been a great pleasure to serve MSMTA in the capacity of Membership Vice President for the past four years. With best regards, Richard Hartzell MSMTA CELEBRATES ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY When a small group of teachers gathered together in 1957 to form the nucleus of the Maryland State Music Teachers Association, they could not have envisioned the vibrant and professional organization of more than 700 members that is now today’s MSMTA. Of those original members who signed the incorporation papers in 1960, only Gail McDonald is still an active member, and the first president, Elizabeth R. Davis, is now remembered as the honoree of our Elizabeth R. Davis Memorial Piano Competition. To commemorate this golden anniversary, the Board of Directors of the MSMTA is asking each Local Association to conduct a state Fund-Raising Project of its own choice. The proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald Houses in the Washington Metropolitan area, who offer a home-away-from-home to families with very ill children in local hospitals. Further information will appear in next season’s newsletters, as the local associations share their ideas and suggestions with us all. Carol Wolfe-Ralph will present a plaque on behalf of the MSMTA to the local association which raises the largest contribution to the Ronald McDonald Fund through its event. What a great way to celebrate our 50th Anniversary and benefit children and their families at the same time! Carol Wolfe-Ralph PRESIDENT Carol Wolfe-Ralph 6102 Gallery Street from the President...

Case No.: _______________ PLAINTIFFS, v. TRAVIS A. GAYLES, et al. DEFENDANTS. PLAINTIFFS’ MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF TEMPORARY, PRELIMINARY, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF On Friday evening, after business hours, and without warning, the Montgomery County Health Officer abruptly announced that all private and religious schools in Montgomery County are “prohibited from physically re-opening for in-person instruction through October 1, 2020.” This blanket order, directed only at religious and private schools, purports to effectively prevent more than 23,000 Montgomery County students from returning to school in the coming weeks. The surprise order was stunning in its abruptness and timing. It was issued on the eve of school reopening, without notice to parents, students, or schools. Families had paid tuition and made firm enrollment decisions. Most schools had spent months researching, planning and installing expensive retrofitting of their schools, following CDC and State guidelines for reopening. Since the pandemic broke in March, neither State nor County government has found it necessary to issue any order directed at religious or private schools prior to this one. And the order was not in response to any COVID-19 outbreak. In fact, there has not been a single 1 Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 2 of 47 reported COVID-19 cases in any Montgomery County religious or private school during the pandemic.

  • 2015-2016 Immunization Status of Maryland Students
    2015-2016 Immunization Status of Maryland Students Background and Notes: The immunization data is obtained through the Annual School Immunization Survey. The Annual School Immunization Survey is a self-reporting survey that each Maryland school, public and private, is required to complete and submit to the Maryland Department of Health, Center for Immunization by November 15th each year, per COMAR regulations 10.06.04.09. The survey assesses the coverage and exemption data for all Kindergarten students. This is intended to be a representative sample of immunization coverage in Maryland. Parents provide student immunization information to the schools. Schools aggregate this information and report the information to the Maryland Department of Health in the fall of each year. The data in this document display school immunization and exemption rates. The Maryland Department of Health does not have the ability to verify the accuracy of the information that was submitted by the schools. Vaccine Requirements: For students in Kindergarten, the minimum immunization requirements for attending a Maryland school in the 2015-16 school year include: 3 doses of DTaP vaccine, 3 doses of Polio vaccine, 2 doses of MMR vaccine, 2 doses of varicella vaccine, and 3 doses of Hep B vaccine. Coverage Rate: The percentage of students that are fully immunized against a specific vaccine preventable disease meeting the minimum immunization school requirements. According to COMAR 10.06.04, a parent or guardian shall provide evidence of age appropriate immunity to the preschool or school authority. A student is considered to not have age appropriate immunity if they need one or more doses of a particular vaccine to meet the vaccine requirements based on the student's grade.
