The Board of Education has extended the deadline for MCPS employees to provide verification that they have received a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination, or provided documentation for a medical or religious exemption.

• Employees who are unable to access or complete the online attestation form should work with their supervisors to provide the required documentation listed below.
• For employees who have submitted the required proof of vaccination, no further action is required.

Vaccinations are one of the most critical strategies to help schools maintain regular operations. On Oct. 5, 2021, the Board of Education unanimously passed an updated resolution mandating that all MCPS staff be vaccinated against COVID-19. MCPS has been and will continue to consider requests to be excused from this mandate whenever necessary to comply with legal requirements. Employees requesting an exemption can submit them in the following ways:

• Religious Exemption: Email this form to Heather_Dublinske@mcpsmd.org or submit electronically here.
• Medical Exemption: Email this form to Khalid_D_Walker@mcpsmd.org or use the process outlined below and at this link. 

Instructions and more information to report your vaccination status and upload proof of vaccination can be found at the end of this correspondence.

  • vaccination verification provided by your health insurance provider; or
  • a letter from your primary care physician attesting to the employee’s vaccine status.
