BELVIDERE Thousands of Belvidere teenagers could find themselves back in school on a nearly full-time basis as soon as April 5.
The Belvidere School Board is going to consider doubling instruction time for middle and high school students this week, just days after the Illinois State Board of Education and Illinois Department of Public Health updated joint guidance on school operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the revised guidelines still include mandatory face masks, contact tracing and increased cleaning and disinfection throughout school buildings, they eliminate the need for daily temperature screenings, limiting indoor spaces to a 50-person capacity and redefine social distancing as 3 to 6 feet for students and fully vaccinated staff.
