The two school districts I personally have to deal with are Washington Elementary and Mesa Public Schools Districts. Both are saying that it will be distance learning for at least 30 days if not longer. Both are going to make students able to continue distance learning even if in-person learning starts and they don't feel comfortable doing that.

Both school districts are providing laptops for students as well.

Washington Elementary School District approved a contract with T-Mobile to provide hotspot services for students and faculty at home for a with the option for two more years. So that seems to be thinking long term which is a good sign.

You can Google the school board's website and search for yourself to see what information is out there because I get phone calls and emails regularly letting me know what's going on. I would be very interested to see what rural Arizona schools are doing considering that they're probably more likely to be on the hoax side of the pandemic.
