Where is the public exploration of financial motivations for reopening schools?

To what extent is the urgency to reopen U.S. schools due to district financial crises? Districts must be internally discussing the financial implications of remaining remote. Attendance and enrollment - often important parts of district funding formulas - are down for many remote-only schools. And Biden's recently proposed relief plan provides further financial incentives to reopen for revenue. Meanwhile, many city leaders are committed to recreating the conditions necessary for an open economy; which includes physical spaces for the care and supervision of young people. Modern schools, of course, are expected to serve this function.

Can districts afford remote learning? Is anyone publicly exploring how funding dilemmas are influencing reopening plans?
