What I observed is my local school administrator working to building consensus from the teachers, the unions, the parents, the janitors, the athletic groups, the board of health, etc, etc. Which is a perfectly good approach for a stable system. However, there weren't enough hours in the day to build all this consensus with a deliberate and slow planning process. That's what I meant - so not a billion - but so many parties that here wasn't enough time in the day to align everyone. Meanwhile - kids were stuck in remote learning. Our unpaid school committee and paid professional clearly worked their butts off. Unfortunately, hard work isn't always good enough if your fundamental slow work mechanisms can't adopt to the reality of child development. And unfortunately, the unions appeared to be a leading group that was seeking to delay and put up road blocks to returning to school.
