As @MetroSchools teachers and staff started meeting today, the @Tennessean was able to get mock schedules for virtual learning that show what a day might look like for Nashville students as they spend the first month of school online. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/what-nashville-students-virtual-learning-fall-mnps-schedule-may-look-like/5494297002/
The @Tennessean also learned that Metro Schools only has about 20,000 laptops ready as of today for the first day of school.
Remember, all 86,000 Nashville students are expected to learning virtually until at least Labor Day. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/education/2020/07/23/mnps-laptops-at-home-learning-digital-divide-coronavirus/5496385002/

Meanwhile, in nearby Williamson, Superintendent Jason Golden announced that not all students will return physically to campus on August 7. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/williamson/franklin/2020/07/23/williamson-students-return-school-hybrid-model/5496175002/
Instead students in Pre-K through 2nd will start school in-person, with students in 3-12 remote learning.
This comes as coronavirus cases spike in the region and while some Williamson residents threaten to recall school board members for requiring students to wear masks.

Over in Wilson County — which is set to kickoff the school year with students learning in-person on Aug. 3 (with a remote option available) — the board called an emergency meeting...for this SATURDAY to discuss the calendar. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/wilson/2020/07/23/wilson-county-schools-calls-special-meeting-discus-start-date/5495488002/
These districts, surrounding Metro Nashville, are some of the earliest in the nation to send students back to school.
