Students commute between classes at Downtown Burlington High School, Monday, March 22, 2021, in Burlington, Vt.

As school officials looked for space where students could attend school in-person, they eventually eyed the empty department store, which closed in 2018. “It's weird but cool at the same time,” said freshman Moses Doe, 15, who said he and his family shopped plenty at Macy's before it became his school.
