And that takes effect in Baltimore County on Monday morning. The school board approved the change Tuesday night after months of protests from parents.
The change has been a long time coming for students and parents. The district said it s something that s always been on the reopening agenda. It s time. I think families deserve the option if they chose to send kids back, said Julie Henn, vice chair of the Baltimore County School Board.
Henn made the motion to reopen four days a week for all students.

More than 2,500 of Baltimore County Public School system employees have had their personal information compromised and the district said it s their fault.
It follows a number of technology issues the school system has been dealing with since November.
School officials said they learned about the technology failure in January, but letters to those who may have been affected didn t go out until April 9, almost three months later. There was a list that was placed in a secure spot on our website and essentially a month later, we discovered that it not as secure as we thought that it would be, said Charles Herndon, of Baltimore County Public Schools.
