  • IN the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT for the DISTRICT of MARYLAND (Southern Division) JOHN and KIMBERLY BEAHN, Individually and A
    Case 8:20-cv-02239-GJH Document 3-1 Filed 08/04/20 Page 1 of 47 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND (Southern Division) JOHN AND KIMBERLY BEAHN, individually and as parents and next friends of P.B., M.B., AND B.B., MINORS, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, et al. 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.

  • ARE YOU READY to VOTE in PERSON on ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County Will Open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 A.M
    ARE YOU READY TO VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County will open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. On Election Day you may vote at any one of Montgomery County’s 39 Election Day Vote Centers. Most polling places will be closed due to the pandemic. Instead, you may vote at any vote center. Same-day registration is available with proof of residency. Due to the pandemic, we will limit the number of people inside vote centers at one time and distance voting booths at least six feet apart. This will result in longer lines and wait times. For the closest Election Day vote center and wait-times, text VC plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: VC 20879). Maryland's voting system offers features for accessibility. Please ask the Election Judge about your options. Before you are given a ballot, an Election Judge will tell you, "You have two ways to mark your ballot - either by hand or with the electronic device. Which do you prefer?" You will choose how to mark your ballot. If you requested a ballot by mail, please vote that ballot. There will be a drop box at every in- person voting center, so you can skip the line and drop off your ballot. For additional drop boxes near you, text BOX plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: BOX 20879). You may not “trade in” your by-mail ballot at a vote center. If you requested a ballot by mail and try to vote in person, you will need to apply for a provisional ballot, which adds time to your voting experience.

The purpose of the draft is to assign amateur baseball players to major league teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick. Eligible amateur players include graduated high school players who have not attended college, any junior or community college players, and players at four-year colleges and universities three years after first enrolling or after their 21st birthdays (whichever occurs first). From 1966-1986, a January draft was held in addition to the June draft targeting high school players who graduated in the winter, junior college players, and players who had dropped out of four-year colleges and universities. To date, there have been 1,170 Maryland players selected in the First-Year Player Drafts either from a Maryland High School (337), Maryland College (458), Non-Maryland College (357), or a Maryland amateur baseball club (18). The most Maryland selections in a year was in 1970 (38) followed by 1984 (37) and 1983 (36). The first Maryland selection was Jim Spencer from Andover High School with the 11th overall selection in the inaugural 1965 June draft.

  • 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.
