PUSD has already made the decision to open, however, it is very complicated with PPE, schedules, emergency drills, contact tracing, keeping teachers and students safe, nasty parents, equipment, staff, etc. There are a LOT of factors in reopening, not just PUSD being annoying and not saying they will open. There are hundreds of people behind-the-scenes trying to organize it but it isn't something that can happen in 2 weeks.
