I sub in 16 different middle & high schools.
The HS about 12 miles northeast went full remote because too many teachers were out. Vax rates among staff is super high. Might actually be 100%. (I know of 2 other high schools where 100% is fact.). This one, I don't know for sure.
That's a fairly affluent area, so good hardware & internet are not the issue.
But, that district has 3 high schools. The other 2 had no such problems. No clue as to why only one school got hammered.
Not sure how things are in districts I don't visit.
