chicago's catholic schools were 100% in-person right from the start of the 20/21 school year in august!

playing monday morning quarterback with some neighbors after the fact, some parents started signing their kids up for the catholic schools as soon as the 19/20 school year ended as a "just in case" for the fall.

and then when CPS announced they would remain 100% remote indefinitely prior to the start of 20/21, all those parents who had reserved "just in case" slots at the catholic schools were like "YES!".

oh, there were probably virtual school board meetings online at the time, but yelling at people through a lap top loses some of its punch (by design).
