This story was updated at 5:50 p.m. May 7, 2021, to correct a reference to Chevy Chase Elementary School.
The number of COVID-19 cases reported among Montgomery County Public Schools staff members and students nearly doubled in the past three weeks.
Since schools began reopening on March 1, at least 137 cases have been reported, and 64 were reported since April 14.
While health officials have said any increase in cases is “concerning,” more cases were expected as more students and employees returned to buildings.
MCPS used a phased reopening schedule that brought more children into buildings in waves. After the first 700 students returned, about 20,000 children were brought back in each of the next three phases.
