If you have a child or children who have been pulled out of school due to the coronavirus pandemic, you should not plan on schools re-opening anytime soon. While there is something to be said for optimism, it is also important (more important) to face the realities of the current situation and make plans to continue teaching and helping your child learn at home.

As of yesterday, Gov. Ron DeSantis was on the fence about shutting school campuses statewide for the rest of the academic year, but he said some students may return to school sooner than others.
