Lucas is a senior and will have shortened days anyway so he will likely just work from home. I can’t help but wonder what this means for school budgets? Will spending be up or down? Transportation costs should be down... Facilities costs should be somewhat lower... Materials and Supplies costs will be drastically reduced... At the same time, there will be new and unexpected costs.

I’m expecting something similar here.

That's a shame Lucas will have to endure this for what should be his best year of school.

This will lead to the Golden Age of Families in the USA
Nice.

Due to Luke’s DE classes, he will take the 2 day in person option. We will skip the bus, however. Their plan is to limit to 1 per seat, every other row. They estimate that the 75 person buses will carry 11 people.
Niiiice.

In other words, the teacher’s union won.

Not to plug it again, but the NYT’s podcast The Daily had a good episode about school reopenings. Link below.
Anyway, @LuFins-Dad looks like Fairfax County is doing the same. The ripple effect this has throughout the region and workplaces is enormous!

Not sure this is true for all school districts in the US. In talking with some friends, the school may have remote learning, but the teachers are required to be in the building to do the remote teaching. For them, it will be a regular day schedule.

Our Japanese foreign exchange student is coming in three weeks to stay with us again. Not clear why. As far as I know, she'll be taking online classes from her room here, rather than doing so from her room in Japan. But we'll take the money.

Right, every State, City and County make their own rules.
And the feds can threaten to take away money when they want to make some rules.

True, Copper. But don't forget the average percentage from the feds is around 12%, mostly going towards Title I. So, it's not huge.

Teachers that aren’t teaching aren’t teachers.
