As the nation continues its battle against COVID-19, we find ourselves at the close of an untraditional summer and the start of the 2020-21 school year. School, health, and government officials have all been working vigorously these past few months to weigh their school reopening options. And It's complicated.

The start of the school year is very different for students across the country. Not only is the virus affecting certain areas harder than others, but government leadership approaches also distinctly vary across state lines. This means that the requirements for schools’ reopenings also heavily differ. Therefore, the district, county, and state in which a student attends school have an affect on the structure of their school year.
