In general I think the state, led by the governor, has done relatively well in dealing with this situation. I happen to agree, however, with the Warwick school committee's choice of just accepting that full distance learning is the prudent way to start the school year, with an eye to doing in-person instruction for some special education students. I did that in the summer and the ratio of teacher-to-student was around 1:3 and that worked well. Our school also ran a summer school for non-special needs students with a ratio of about 1:8. However, the governor's comment that "15 means 15" will not be the case this fall since I was told by my school principal that we are not obliged to keep to that limit in our classrooms and that is the decision from the RI Dept. of Education.
