that no schools will be reopening that soon. This isn't going to get better than quickly.

My wife is a teacher and we are hearing this will likely go through Spring Break, early April.

Are you asking about a specific school district?

I will be surprised if schools open by the end of April, I don't think there's any way March 31 is in play.

Most information I've heard (I have friends who work in different school districts in the upstate, and I work at Winthrop University) is that most places are preparing under the assumption that schools may not re-open until the end of the scheduled school year. If they happen to re-open sooner, then great, but most communication I've seen is preparing for working from home (thus schools being closed) through the end of April (for colleges) and possibly May (for all others).
However, I will also say that schools did not expect the governor to move as swiftly as he did last weekend...and there's nothing saying that kind of swift change cannot happen again, thus changing plans that are in place.

The general belief seems to be that...

the school closings will likely be extended through at least mid-April.

I feel ya I work as a sub in the school cafeteria. The position was possibly gonna go permanent by years end. But now I’m not working not getting paid. Because I was hired by kudzu staffing not school district.

My wife is a teacher in Charleston and her principal told her they likely will not resume this year--out through summer, hope to return in August.

All colleges across the state got the call from the governor to move forward with online classes through the end of the semester. That means end of April for most. Clemson and Winthrop have both postponed commencement as well.

Berkeley County initially was supposed to reopen March 31. They now adjusted the date to IIRC, April 14, a date which Charleston County started with.
