Some schools across the country are under pressure to reopen for in-person classes, even in states like Idaho where coronavirus cases continue to rise out of control.
At the Bruneau-Grandview School District in rural southern Idaho, a couple dozen teachers are crowded into the small library.
When the district abruptly went to online-only last Spring, Cantrell says some students dropped off the map, learning suffered, especially in outlying areas where there's little or no Internet. In Idaho, public health experts have warned that schools that are reopening may just have to close down again because it's not safe.
"I expect almost immediately to have to start making decisions about who comes to school, who's quarantined, do we need to shut school down for two weeks," Cantrell says.
