School is underway across the state, but it’s a wide-ranging mix of in-person and distance learning for students. How will rural students access course materials in areas with little or no broadband? What was learned from the disruption of sudden school closures in the spring that can help keep students engaged and learning this fall? And how will teachers build relationships with students that can’t log on?
