Many school districts still need to make decisions about the fall school year following the COVID-19 pandemic repercussions.  State education leaders have yet to decide about online learning and whether students should be allowed back in classrooms.

Guidance for Illinois schools to have in-person learning this fall is coming in a matter of days, but if that’s not possible because of COVID-19, officials say remote learning will be enhanced. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 1596 Thursday that, among other things, gives schools flexibility with blended remote learning day options. State officials urge local districts to prioritize in-person learning for students with the greatest needs.
