My sister in law in Monmouth says each school district in the state makes its own masking decisions for the kids and teachers. I can't believe this. I grew up in North Jersey, worked as a newspaper reporter in Middlesex and Somerset counties for years, and always felt the strong home rule stuff was an enormous waste of resources.

Maryland has few muniicipalities. Almost everything is run by county government, including schools.
