It's Dekalb county, so yes. They did not have a superintendent until late July and no plans as of early August. You have to pay the thousands of teachers to do the training (they are only on 9 or 10 month contracts) and the state (and likely county) budgets are slashed due to the pandemic. They should have just delayed until Labor day or something but gotten those teachers in there for a month of training. Or let them come to school and teach on camera so there are no bandwidth issues.
