School board considers state mandated updates to policy for telehealth appointments during school

The Frederick County Board of Education is working to update its student health and wellness policy to address telehealth visits during school hours.

A state bill, House Bill 522 , approved by Gov. Wes Moore in April 2024, requires all school districts in the state to implement a policy that governs telehealth appointments by the start of the 2025-26 school year.
