Its really quite simple. The large urban districts that are going online are doing so because they can't figure out a way to have classes and keep social distancing and all of the other rules from being broken.
I'm too lazy to look but I imagine Cleveland Public Schools have around 40,000 students. Toledo over 20,000, Columbus probably 50,000. Most of these kids take the bus. They all need to eat lunch as well. I'm not blaming them. It's a logistical nightmare to keep these kids socially distanced. How many extra bus routes would you need if you can't fill the bus? If you can't use all of the cafeteria how many lunch periods do you schedule?
If you live in a district that has 1000 students k-12 you can do all kinds of innovative things and be fairly certain you will succeed or you can adapt quickly. Go into a high school where 15 busses arrive at the same time and try to social distance them as they go through metal detectors then go to eat breakfast.
Some things that seem so easy for many are a difficult task for some.
