That stat about 15,000 Chromebooks being ordered for students is eye-opening. Lots of districts might see that and say: Wish we could afford it.
As I noted last week, by a few measures Loudoun County is the wealthiest county in the U.S. And kudos to Debbie for the coverage.

An interesting point from a hospital CEO I talked to today:
His biggest concern about #COVIDー19 isn't supplies or space. It's staff — if his local schools close, then he's worried about losing a lot of his workers. He's thinking about setting up emergency, onsite childcare.

Gov. Tate Reeves, amid a global pandemic, declared a state of emergency on Saturday afternoon.
He has asked Mississippi churches to cancel services this weekend and asked that the state’s public schools extend their spring break by at least one week.
