Schools may reopen, but they are going to have to be structured differently. My sister is a middle school teacher, and she mentioned that rooms just aren't set up to have students constantly washing their hands. I think some classrooms don't even have sinks. 

In our area, there's been talk about drastically reducing class size and maybe having different waves of students throughout the week. There is so much to be figured out before school restarts and I have a hard time believing school may start in July.

I doubt July will happen because of union rules for the teachers and the potential of absenteeism for students and teachers.

However, starting in July would be best if one believes the students will be on a rotation plan getting only a couple of days in class each week or if a school district suspects there will be at least a few multi-day COVID closures during the year for cleaning.

Early starts won't happen, but I can see several benefits to starting early if it was logistically possible.
