I’m sure they will start off online before going to hybrid.

Teachers will be outraged when they find out they might have to go to work this year.

They're going to shut it down

Ummmmmmmmmmm...I would sincerely hope they'd have put a little time into this one already.

Yeah no, most polls show 70%+ of teachers want to go back into the classroom. So continue to believe the media and Facebook

Nope, they want all teachers using the same programs with an understanding on how to use the programs. They could have called teachers to summer training but that would have cost them. So they can use the start of the year and remove some emergency days that are built into the schedule.

Both of the major teacher unions in the school system -- the local chapters of the Association of Educators and the Federation of Teachers -- have scheduled a protest for 4 p.m. Wednesday at the School Board Office at 1050 S. Foster Drive.
“It is time to tell the School Board how we feel,” reads the Association of Educators' announcement of the protest. “We (don’t) want to return to school until the COVID-19 rates are down for at least 14 days.”
The Federation of Teachers puts their concerns more generally: “It’s time that the EBR School Board KNOWS that it is unacceptable to put our lives, and our students’ lives, in jeopardy by reopening schools in the midst of a pandemic prematurely.”
The protest is still a go no matter what the school system announces between now and then, organizers say.

If the EBR teachers that I know are any sign, the turnout will be crap. They don't want to do virtual teaching and want to return to school.

Well, that 70% must have forgot to tell their union about it. That, or the union has hijacked that 70%.
I agree that most teacher probably do want to go back to classroom teaching. Particularly those with young kids who have also had to work from home while also taking care of their children. Nonetheless, the most vocal among them don't want to go back to school anytime soon...and with a government already drunk on on power shutting down or restricting things in apparent perpetuity, it doesn't take much to give them a reason to keep prolonging a return to school. Ultimately, the public school teachers aren't all that concerned because they aren't seeing a reduction in pay or benefits...at all
