Schools in Illinois are getting new guidance about what constitutes social distancing. The CDC and IDPH now say that a proper level of distance between students can be less than six feet.
Governor JB Pritzker says he wants schools to be open. But it has been up to the local districts to decide on how to move forward.
“Instead of a six foot distance, in certain circumstances in classrooms for example where the kids are sitting, they could only be three feet apart. That would allow for more kids to be back in the classroom and as you know we are trying to get teachers vaccinated, as well as all the other people who work with our schools across the state.”
The state says about 92 percent of all schools are offering some form of in person learning.
