Public schools are also really limited by the tech they buy, price sensitive, regular staff aren't up to date on tech, and they don't pay their IT teams much.
It makes it hard for them to adjust fast.
The purpose built school from home programs are often far better run / budgeted IT wise. I was at my son's high school and the school from home kids were there for an in person day borrowing the lab for some in person time / activities and etc.
