Local school districts allow teachers to bring kids to work to address day care issues
As a growing number of Maryland public school teachers prepare for in-person learning, on campus, some may have day care issues.
With that in mind, close to a dozen school districts may have found a way for teachers to bring their children to work.
Harford County teachers will walk into school buildings on Oct. 12, a little more than a week ahead of students, but what will that mean for teachers who are also parents?
“We have a structure in place that we could allow staff to have their children at the learning center,” said Harford County Schools Superintendent Sean Bulson. Many of the teachers were running out of options for childcare.
“There really is a short window for them to make this decision,” Harford County Education Association President Chrystie Crawford-Smick said.
“If teachers are being asked to return back to the classroom, they need to make sure that there is an opportunity for their children to be able to learn during the day,” Crawford-Smick said.
Besides Harford County, administrators in Baltimore City, Calvert, Caroline, Charles, Kent and St. Mary's counties are also allowing teachers to bring their children to school. The arrangement was included in their school reopening plans submitted to the Maryland State Board of Education.
