The Peoria Unified School District board held a special meeting Jan. 13 to discuss the use of COVID-19 metrics being used to determine in-person and virtual learning.
The board meeting was informational, with no votes by the board members, but the community weighed in through online comments.
At its Dec. 10 meeting, PUSD governing board voted unanimously to keep classrooms open after winter break âregardless of the benchmark data.â
PUSD closed 13 schools for one day Jan. 11 after a teacher âsick out.â
Peoria Unified School District was one of the few public school districts to keep classrooms open after winter break. In the first week since, COVID-19 cases in the PUSD surrounding community increased by more than 50%, nearing 1,000 per 100,000 population over seven days. (Anything over 100 cases per 100,000 is considered âsubstantial spread.â)
It’s that time of the year again! Time to gather up your loose change, empty your coin jar and give from the heart as we come together as a community to raise

Reality TV star Stephen Bear recently revealed via social media that he attempted to take his life recently, which came after a video of him in tears, in which he told followers, “I can’t do it anymore.”
That prompted concern from his followers and friends from MTV’s The Challenge as they commented on his social media post.
Bear’s suicide attempt follows accusations from his ex-girlfriend and The Challenge castmate, Georgia Harrison, about him secretly recording her at his home in a compromising situation and then sharing the footage with others.
