The cost of schools reopening? $1.77 million for the average district

The total cost, as calculated by the Association of School Business Officials and the School Superintendents Association is $1,778,139, though factors such as regional prices, economies of scale, and how easy it is to buy what's needed and hire necessary staff will make that grow or shrink.
