March 12, 2020 For Immediate Release

BALTIMORE — While no cases of COVID-19 have been identified in Baltimore, Baltimore City Public Schools continues its focus on preparation. Our goal is to keep our doors open as long as possible, while prioritizing the health and safety of our students. As the situation continues to evolve, the district is taking proactive steps to ensure it supports students and staff.

As a result, the professional development sessions scheduled for Friday, March 13 have been canceled. Instead, employees will report to their school or worksite to assist in the preparation of grade-level learning packets for students. In the event of school closures, these packets will be distributed to students.

Please note: Parent-teacher conferences scheduled for Friday, March 13 will continue as planned.
