It's also worth noting that some states (and DC) are passing emergency bills that provide some unemployment to teachers/require schools to pay the teachers and then reimburse them. Schools should at least be willing to use this to meet part of payroll and then give that portion of the cost back to parents. I don't want schools to close and employees not to get paid, but lots of people are getting smaller paychecks now (or none) or having to pay for extra child care. Why would it be ONLY parents that bear the costs?
