Yesterday, Governor Pritzker issued an Executive Order for Illinois Schools that requires the wearing of masks indoors by all at schools regardless of vaccination status until further notice. This includes indoor sports as well. Outdoor school activities/sports have not been affected to this point. Requirements for mask wearing on school transportation were already in place.
More detailed reopening plans that reflect these changes will be shared soon.
Thanks as always for your patience and cooperation.
