		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) will remain closed through 5/14/2020, according to a new state order.

Standing with Gov. Larry Hogan in Annapolis, State Superintendent of Schools Karen Salmon announced Wednesday (3/25/2020) that all Maryland public schools will now remain closed for another four weeks in an effort to slow down the spread of the virus. &#8220;I am working in concert with all local school system superintendents, including multiple calls per week, in order to provide the continuity of learning to all of our students in every jurisdiction across the State of Maryland during this time,&#8221; she said. “We plan to resume the continuity of learning next week, and we will be working closely with local superintendents, school administrators, and our teachers to activate that plan.&#8221; She did not rule out another closure order, possible for the rest of the school year, after the current order expires.
