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.

  • Interfaith Families Project
    Interfaith Families Project March 2004 www.iffp.net P.O. Box 5413, Takoma Park, MD 20913 [email protected] 301-270-6337 FROM THE BOARD Two Experiments At its February meeting, the Board approved two temporary alterations to our regular Sunday morning routine, each to occur once before the end of this year, if possible. The first experiment will be to cancel Adult Group one Sunday and have a brunch for adults in its place. The second experiment will be to reverse the regular schedule one Sunday. It will begin with the kids going to Sunday School while Adult Group meets. After Adult Group ends and before the kids rejoin their families, the Gathering will begin. Kids and teachers will then rejoin the larger community for a Family Gathering. After the Gathering, coffee and bagels will be available for half an hour. Details were left to the deliberative wisdom of Heather, Sherri, Larry Bostian (chair, Worship Committee), and Sam Lawson (guru, Adult Group). These experiments grow from the Board’s desire to respond to key challenges facing IFFP—none more important than finding additional ways for small groups of members to meet and explore shared interests. When IFFP was smaller, this happened naturally both at IFFP events and on the streets of Takoma Park. With a larger and more geographically diverse community, we need to cultivate different opportunities for natural community building. Complementing these two Sunday-morning experiments, the Board also discussed ways to encourage member-initiated events. We want to facilitate any member s who wish to invite others to join them in some activity.

  • AISGW Statement to Applicants
    To Students and Families Applying to Washington-Area Independent Schools for Admission in 2021-2022 To promote a fair and transparent admission process, the member schools of the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington (“AISGW”) have established the following guidelines for working with families and students applying to their schools. All AISGW schools and applicant families are expected to abide by these guidelines. Schools should make clear to applicants all dates pertaining to admission and re-enrollment. AISGW recommends the following timeline: • Notification Date - Notification of admission decisions shall be the first Friday in March (March 5, 2021). Electronic notification, which includes email, telephone, on-line portal or any other form of instant notification, shall not occur before 4 pm. Letters may be placed in the U.S. mail so as to be received on the first Friday in March. • Registration/Reply Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted students are due back to the school no earlier than the third Friday in March (March 19, 2021), or two weeks from the date of notification. • Tuition Binding Date - Enrollment contracts for newly admitted and re-enrolling students are binding as of 4:00 pm on June 1. This means that schools may not release the tuition obligation of a family that has already enrolled unless the family notifies the school of its decision to enroll elsewhere by 4:00 pm on June 1. If June 1 falls on a weekend, the binding date shall be 4:00 pm on the immediately preceding Friday. Upon receipt of an application, member schools of AISGW presume that if an applicant is currently enrolled at another independent school, the applicant’s family already has notified that school of an intention to apply elsewhere in the independent school community.
