"School" is back in today in our district. One kid got their crappo Acer laptop replaced with a Mac mini + 25" monitor. The other is using their overbuilt gaming PC for school. First class @ 8:30am. Set up their webcams yesterday.
Book pickup was the easiest and most streamlined ever-- one grade per day, 90-minute blocks by last name (A-C from 8-9:30, D-L from 9:30-11, etc,) and this is how the schools should have been doing it since day one. Took 20 minutes.
The electric bills are through the roof already (they've been home since spring break in April) but I have to say I will not miss the 4+ car trips a day to the HS. They're home at minimum through the end of 2020.
The district will decide what's what for Spring 2021 by end of year. The neighboring school district has already been in a week. The reduction in early morning traffic is absolutely fine by me.
