BALTIMORE, MD. — Today, the Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS) announced an employee had tested positive for COVID-19. Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young issued the following statement:
“Earlier today, I learned from the Baltimore City Health Department that a Baltimore City Public School System employee tested positive for COVID-19,” Mayor Young said. “I am confident in Baltimore City Schools CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises and her team and the efforts they have engaged in with the Health Department to learn as much about this case as possible, and ensure all appropriate guidance is followed.”
The BCPSS employee has not been at school since the school year was suspended on March 16; the employee has not been part of the staff engaged in distributing learning packets or emergency meals.
