Some interesting positive comments to add...

Here in Nashville, there are already displaced families who are staying in
shelters, that have now enrolled their kids in the local schools for as
long as they need to be here..

Vanderbilt (and I think University of Miami, Florida) are taking students
in who would normally have been attending Tulane, NOT for free, but on
super discounted fees...the Vandy fees are $500/class (normal tuition is
$40k per year), BUT, the kids are limited at this point to 2 classes, AND
Vandy is only accepting TN residents, and they must have their own locally
provided housing, as the dorms are full.  That's a start, they enrolled 63
students today, more tomorrow.
