The order from county health officer Travis Gayles cites specific sections of state code that he said empower local health officers to take actions to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. In that case, I suppose there are no limits on Emperor Gayles powers.

MD ping.
Is there a provision in the Maryland State Constitution parallel to the 10th Amendment of the COTUS barring intervention from the higher governing authority?

we can fire all the teachers
just keep one for each grade
have them record daily lessons
kids can watch
dont need dozens of teachers sitting on their asses doing 20% work or less

Had a similar sort of issue in Texas. County health officials were trying to micromanage the schools, when they would open or not to where it was impossible to plan sports or academic competition schedules, leaving coaches of all stripes fuming. Texas attorney general stepped in and ruled that schools will make their own determinations as to when they open or not and how they will function day to day, with the health districts serving in an advisory capacity. Small victory but a good one.

I guess were going to have to have a brown vs board of education moment to reopen schools.

Last March when the schools closed, the teachers knew their students already. When schools reopen virtually in September, teachers will not have any personal relationship with the students. Therefore theres only need for one teacher per class/subject who will give the best online lesson. This is especially true in jurisdictions where the union says that a teachers face cannot be on camera.
To: MinorityRepublican
The article says that Montgomery County Maryland is going to wait until cases are fewer than 10 per day. The county has about 1 million people. This is an incredibly small number that they say they are waiting for. I wonder what the number of false positives is out of 1 million people.

Maryland’s Constitution begins with a very detailed Declaration of Rights.
Larry Hogan got the ball rolling by breaking at least 10 articles of the Declaration and his oath to protect the Constitution.
Here are just two examples.
Art. 8. That the Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers of Government ought to be forever separate and distinct from each other; and no person exercising the functions of one of said Departments shall assume or discharge the duties of any other.
Art. 9. That no power of suspending Laws or the execution of Laws, unless by, or derived from the Legislature, ought to be exercised, or allowed.
These people have no care or interest in any rules, laws of constitutionality. It’s just feelings all the way.

I dont know in what state it was claimed that a teachers union said that their teachers did not have to have their faces on the internet. If teachers opted for that, it sure seems that there was not much personal interaction going on with distance learning there.
In the fall, teachers wont even have an already established relationship with their students.
