The TL;DR of it is that the Montgomery County health department attempted to discriminate against private schools and independent educators by refusing to allow them to join the vaccination pool they had created for educators by restricting it to MCPS employees and contractors only. Essentially they were bookmarking vaccines for their own people, who aren't actually in school and of whom it is reported that nearly 1/4-1/3 will refuse to return to the classroom even after vaccination. Meanwhile, independent schools in the county have been the only source AT ALL of in-person instruction for the entirety of this school year. Montgomery County's response to independent schools seeking to join the vaccination pool was essentially "go fark yourselves and find your own."
Luckily, Hogan stepped in and told MoCo and anyone helping them to distribute the vaccines (eg. John's Hopkins) that they would have their allotments curtailed by the state if they continued to discriminate and practice this sort of graft. I know not everyone likes the guy here, but he's been putting the screws to Monkey County on some pretty important issues here so I give him kudos for that.
