They did last time. Do we know if this is open to people who already took the last round in the fall?

Edit: Also, highly recommend this. My course in the fall was one of the best college classes I ever have experienced

I wonder if school staff is essential.

Yeah, I saw that.  “Other” is kinda broad.  I emailed them to see, but haven’t heard back.   My hours got significantly reduced this year too thanks to COVID.  Luckily, I have found a work from home job to make up the difference.   Not sure how “essential” that makes me now.  I went from full time to as needed up to 20 hours a week.  (Usually working about 10)

I got in last time with my job in a warehouse, so I should certainly think most jobs that you are required to be at I'm person should count, so long as you have proof.

From what I can tell, a lot of these are continuing Ed classes.

"essential workers"

I own my own business.
I can clean a toilet.
I will clean your toilets for $1000 each.
Therefore I am now a janitor.  (Prove it? Here is my biz card)

That's how you play games in Clown World.

Life must be nice when you can be so flippant about things.
