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.

  • Montessori Still a Strong Alternative a Century-Old Philosophy of Learning Remains Relevant, Popular with Parents and Educators
    & SCHOOLS GUIDE & 2012 SCHOOLS GUIDE A supplement to 2012 [ 2] PRIMARY & SECONDARY SCHOOLS GUIDE 2012 Montessori still a strong alternative A century-old philosophy of learning remains relevant, popular with parents and educators BY JACQUELYN BENGFORT Special to The Daily Record “Montessori.” The word alone can conjure images of overanxious parents jostling to get their 3-year-old into an expensive, exclusive preschool in order to ensure the child’s future suc- cess. Yet, the hype often obscures what Maryland educators and parents con- tinue to find: A Montessori education, with its emphasis on engaging children by tapping into their innate curiosity, remains a powerful method for devel- oping students who can think deeply and independently. Features of Montessori An educational philosophy devel- oped by Dr. Maria Montessori at the turn of the last century, the Montessori method incorporates a number of unique features. One of those is the mixed-age class- room, in which children spanning two or more commonly three grades are grouped together. Lainie Santos Tor- res, curriculum coordinator at Love of Learning Montessori School in Colum- bia, said that while they’re sometimes misunderstood as children teaching children, in practice mixed-age class- rooms are effective because they allow children to not only solidify their learning by sharing it with other stu- dents, but also to gain exposure to the concept of mentoring. “If you look at a lot of the big-name companies of today … they’re using a lot of [mentorship] models,” Torres said. “To have children do it is really just modeling real life.” MONTESSORI INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S HOUSE Another feature of Montessori Students at the Montessori International Children’s House in Annapolis provide the inspiration for their instruction, Administrative Director schools is the specially prepared envi- Elizabeth Whitaker says.
