The health officer of Montgomery County, Maryland, ordered nonpublic schools, including “private pay schools” and “schools affiliated with religious institutions,” to remain closed for in-school instruction through October 1.

The Montgomery County public school district recently announced it would not open for in-school instruction for the fall semester but will offer virtual instruction.

The order drew a strong note of disapproval from Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who said in a statement posted to Twitter Saturday:

I strongly disagree with Montgomery County’s decision to mandate the closure of private and parochial schools. As long as these schools develop safe plans that follow CDC and state guidelines, they should be empowered to do what’s best for their community. This is a decision for schools and parents, not politicians.
