My son is a HS senior currently making decisions about where to attend in the fall.  I was wondering if any parents of currently-enrolled students have seen any plans from their child's school for what will happen if they are not able to reopen in the fall.  Ideally I'd like to avoid paying $57k per year for online classes.

I'm mainly interested in the colleges' contingency planning here.  For me the only semi-firm upper bound on length of the epidemic is the timeframe for vaccine development, which is usually reported as 12-18 months.

Many other things could happen to shorten the economic shutdown -- discovery of an effective antiviral, or unchecked spread that infects the majority of the population in the coming months, or reduction so effective that we can return to contact tracing and containment -- but if we only manage to slow the spread, we will have the problem of it being hard to stop the isolation without speeding it back up again.

Thanks, and hope all of your college students are staying safe.
