I would think the revisit in-person population would be split.

There will be those who do not want to risk the travel and would weigh the benefits of staying at home over the risks of traveling during the pandemic.

There will be those who have not seen schools and know they will have to have their kid travel during a pandemic in the fall anyway (unless y’all really think this will just go away in the next few months).

There will be those who live close enough to the schools, that they have at least experienced them in some form or fashion enough to make a decision without going OR feel comfortable driving over there and attending in-person b/c there isn’t much more risk of that than going to Target.

There will be those who live far enough away, but saw the schools prior to the pandemic, so they don’t feel like they need to make the trip again. Not to mention the states they’d be traveling to may have quarantine restrictions for out of staters.

I would think that schools are taking all of this into account and may limit the numbers of in-person attendees, while offering a hybrid revisit for those unable/unwilling to physically attend. But I have been completely off-base before.

One thing I am sure of-- it will be interesting to see the variances in which this is handled!
