Report: Md. Had Second-Lowest Rate of In-Person Learning During Pandemic

July 6, 2021 by Maryland Matters

A States Newsroom report says “a new study shows that racial and geographic gaps persisted as K-12 students went back to their classrooms—with non-Hispanic white kids more often the ones attending a brick-and-mortar school full-time in most states.”

The study, featured in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, looked at in-person and online learning from last September through April.

According to the report:

“The study found that access to in-person learning varied by state: 100% of students in Wyoming and Montana had access to in-person instruction, while Hawaii, Maryland and Washington had the lowest shares of students in their classrooms full-time.

“Only about 2.3% of Maryland students had access to full-time, in-person instruction.

“The new data also found a racial disparity in most states on whether students were learning online or in person. In 43 states, access to full-time, in-person learning was higher for non-Hispanic white students compared to those of color.

“Racial disparities in Maryland were small — students of color were 3.5% less likely to have in-person learning access — because most schools were closed.”

Police: Child Exploitation Cases on Rise

April 13, 2020 by Spy Desk

Investigators at the Talbot County Sheriff’s Office are seeing an increase in online child exploitation cases during the past few weeks.

Children are coerced into sending inappropriate pictures to persons posing to be young persons, only to find out they are adults who then threaten to “release” the pictures to others in the community if the victim doesn’t send money or more pictures.

The sheriff’s office is asking parents to educate themselves and their children about the dangers of online communications.
