In our district there were no cases reported in the first week but there were 3 cases reported this week. This has resulted in 29 people being quarantined. One of the cases was at my youngest sons elementary but he was not in contact with the person. We don't know if the 3 cases were students or faculty as they are not disclosing that information. As of now, no hospitalizations only positive cases.

Boston colleges are having issues, mainly irresponsible students not following Covid requirements.

Northeastern sent students home and kept their tuition money. HA!

People here are not inclined to make guinea pigs of their children and families.

Most of the colleges and universities are doing remote classes.

And something like 90% of the elementary and secondary students are doing remote learning, which is not that bad here. Washington is the home of Bill Gates and many techie companies, so the quality of virtual education is on the high side, and pretty much everyone has access to a computer.

Some of the private schools and rural areas which have very low infection rates are having in-person classes.

I understand the teachers have reached an agreement about how to proceed, I have not yet read the agreement or the response of the governor's office. My impression is that in-person classes are to resume gradually in places where the infection rate falls below an acceptable level. Infections in WA generally are decreasing.

The families of my counseling kids split pretty evenly, with the ones physically sending their children to school citing their need for social interaction, and the ones that decided on home instruction citing the health risks. The schools appear to be maintaining healthy environments so far.

My niece dodged a bullet when she decided against going to UNC on early move-in day. The top education-related news story in the nation the next day was "130 Covid Cases Already at the University of North Carolina." The school went all-virtual the following day, and Caitlin avoided the contagion. My sister also got her room and board payment back.

Most are online. Colleges are covid 19 breeding grounds as they would rather party than stay safe.
