We are reviewing updated guidance from CDC and IDPH

Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance that allows schools to lift mask requirements indoors for students and staff who are vaccinated against COVID-19, and the Illinois Department of Public Health announced it is fully adopting the CDC’s updated guidance for COVID-19 prevention in K-12 schools. The updated school guidance is available at this link.

State Superintendent of Education Carmen Ayala said all Illinois schools will use the CDC guidance released today to start the 2021-22 school year. You may read more in IDPH’s press release.

We are reviewing the guidance and will communicate with staff and families when additional information is available.
