Teachers, fearful of returning to classrooms during the pandemic, are facing new encouragement and new pressure to go back, raising the prospect that in-person school could resume in many communities before the school year is out.

That could include protective equipment such as masks and plexiglass dividers, upgrades to ventilation systems and additional staffing.
