LPS has some technology glitches on first day of remote learning, but lots of kids log on

About 200 of the 500 families who signed up for hot spots have yet to pick them up and other families were calling Monday to say they hadn’t signed up but needed them.

LPS is arranging for those families to pick up their hot spots at the high schools, which act as technology support centers for both high school students and those at their feeder elementary and middle schools.

“We knew that would create calls,” he said.

He also anticipated other issues cropping up, given that 14,671 of the district’s more than 42,000 students are learning remotely. Of those, 8,868 were students who opted for remote learning, the remainder were half of the high school students scheduled to work from home Monday and Tuesday.


High school students: It’s weird, but good to be back in school

The number of students on Zoom Monday morning convinced Langer that overall, it’s working.

By around 11 a.m., 4,500 classes districtwide had been working in Zoom. That would include all the high school classes, where students have to log on each period, as opposed to elementary school students who log in and stay in the same class.

There were more than 59,000 participants in those classes (that includes each high school class, which would mean the same students logging into different classes). Collectively, they’d spent 1,223,777 minutes on Zoom.
