If you’re taking summer classes, you might be taking them at a physical school building.
According to our news partners at AL.com, State Superintendent Dr. Eric Mackey laid out a draft plan (subject to change) which could result in older students heading back to school in early June.

All 24 year old Alabama state high school teachers are secretly rejoicing.

Older students wouldn't be able to work in the summertime if they're forced to go to school.
I'd be open for some kind of summer school program for elementary school. But, I don't see how this works for 16 and 17 year olds.

When you read the full original article ( LINK), you see that the superintendent vaguely mentioned the possibility of summer classes for high school students only "but that would require careful planning." If summer school classes for high school are going to be conducted, it will be on a district by district basis. Given that Summer school is a pretty expensive proposition for districts under the best circumstances, I wouldn't expect them to be widespread.
The June "opening" date is for "Summer workouts in groups of ten or fewer," the July 6th date would be for literacy support for younger kids.
The end of the article mentions that the superintendent is encouraging districts to make Summer break as long as possible and begin the year at the end of August.

Teachers everywhere rejoice, as they continue to stretch for their excessive self back patting this week. I'm sure their plan is to "make summer break as long as possible"...only to return in Sept and keep every single one of their ridiculous holidays on the schedule. The school year would be reduced from 180 days to 100 if their had their way.
All, while millions of working parents are at greater risk of losing their jobs because they have nowhere to send their children during the day. No daycare. No summer camps. No school.

Are you OK with passing everyone? Because you know its all or nothing as far as the politicians are concerned. There isn't going to be much more compromise, IMO. They are too divided right now.

There is a difference between Summer School and conducting school during the summer. Summer School is when kids go during the summer to make up credits that they failed during the regular school year. Having kids go back in the summer to make up missed days isn’t going to happen. The minutes and testing have been forgiven. The school year will be over in late May. You can’t just arbitrarily decide that kids will come to school in the summer at that point. I’m assuming he is talking about kids who need to make up credits. I’m not really assuming, I’m just using my reading comprehension skills that are so horribly lacking for many of you.

A lot of people say a lot of things and it doesn’t seem like may of the know what the frick they are talking about..

no, I think thats what he is saying too, but you know there's going to be a small group that will be offended because noone else had to finish. "why does my scholar child need to make his/her work up when the other don't."

Some systems in Alabama are talking about doing staggered schedules. One group of kids go to school Monday, Wednesday, and 1/2 day Friday, the others go Tuesday, Thursday, and 1/2 day Friday, or something similar. That would be for the 2020-2021 school year.

I was told Hoover, Shelby County, and a "few others" are discussing that option. At this point, it's probably just contingency planning as the situation will be fluid for the next few months.
