The Illinois State Board of Education is due to vote shortly on a resolution requiring daily in-person learning next school year with limited exceptions for remote learning.
But several parents asked the board to reject the proposal in consideration of children who may still be too young in the fall to receive COVID-19 vaccinations.
A draft of the resolution states that âall schools must resume fully in-person learning for all student attendance days, provided that . remote instruction be made available for students who are not eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine and are under a quarantine order by a local public health department or the Illinois Department of Public Health.â
Illinois schools must reopen full-time this fall, but new mandate raises questions about who will still qualify for remote learning and how quarantines will work
