What's happening the week of February 14 - 18, 2022
From the Superintendent
Friday, February 18, 2022
Dear Parents and Staff:
This morning, a downstate appellate court issued a ruling that affirmed the local school district's ability to make decisions regarding COVID-19 mitigation strategies. District 33 has already begun preparing for a shift in our mitigation strategies about indoor mask requirements in schools. As shared earlier this week, students and staff are encouraged but not required to wear masks in our school buildings. Masks will still be required on buses per a federal mandate. All of our other mitigations strategies remain in effect.
District administration is in the process of creating an Updated COVID-19 Mitigation Plan that addresses many of the questions we received from parents and staff last week. The plan will be shared and reviewed by building administrators, nurses, and staff representatives before going to the board for approval.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate the various executive orders, court rulings, and legislature actions and their impact on our daily operations.
Sincerely,
Kristina Davis, Ed.S.
Superintendent
