Learning Update
Vaccine Clinic: D103 is offering two new clinics with first vaccine doses and boosters being offered on January 22 and February 12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Families will receive a scheduled time for their appointment.
New Quarantine/Isolation Guidance: New quarantine guidance has now reduced the time of quarantine from 10 days to a minimum of five days for certain exposed individuals. COVID positive individuals must remain masked around others and avoid contact with immunocompromised individuals.
Remote Learning Clarification:
Adaptive pause is a temporary short pause to remote learning during a COVID outbreak. E-Learning would occur during an emergency situation such as inclement weather, heating outage, or staffing shortage.
The State does not allow districts to offer remote learning at the request of parents or a district/school.
COVID Absences: There have been quite a few absences after the return from winter break.
There were 108 to 116 students absent daily the first week back from school with anywhere from 17 to 56 of those students quarantined and/or testing positive daily for COVID.
There were 34 to 47 staff absences daily the first week back with 13 to 22 of those daily absences for COVID positive cases.
Test to Stay: The Illinois Department of Health and Illinois State Board of Education shortened the number of days to test students exposed to COVID, which helps when these tests are in short supply.
COVID Metrics: COVID Metrics are at the highest we have ever seen in Lake County and Lincolnshire communities.
Other Business
Policy Updates: The Board reviewed policy updates due to changes in the law.
Bus Driver Update: Current bus drivers are back on their routes but District 103 is still in need of drivers to keep routes running smoothly. The District is advertising for drivers.
