Many Maryland Students Stay Home For First Day Of School As Some Counties Deal With Technical Difficulties - CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Md. (WJZ)– For the first time ever, students in central Maryland are starting the year online.

There will be no bells ringing and no lockers slamming as the new school year begins in Baltimore City as well as Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Harford, Carroll and Howard counties.

On average, students will get three-and-a-half hours of online learning instruction per day.

In March, Governor Larry Hogan issued an executive order, closing schools to in-person learning because of the high numbers of people infected.

However, last month he authorized schools to open in person, citing improving COVID-19 metrics.

As some students logged on Tuesday morning, however, they were met with technical difficulties.

The Schoology platform in Frederick County was giving some students problems, with Frederick County Public Schools working on the problem Tuesday afternoon.

In Howard County, their public school system confirmed while there were no outages, their authentification system did experience heavy load Tuesday morning, causing users to expierence slow login times, which may have caused issues for students.

“The HCPSS authentication system experienced heavy load this morning causing users to experience slow login times, which may have caused some access issues for students, however, our technology department has confirmed that there were no system outages. Many families also needed direct support to reset passwords or connect their devices to the internet.

Important to note that students who were unable to login will not be marked absent, and that any time they experience technical difficulties they should let their teacher know.

Since today was the first day of school, we anticipated providing this support to families and our school and central office staff were prepared to assist families as issues came up.”
