Some Elgin schools in District U-46 are closed Tuesday, while other suburban schools go to remote learning from staffing shortages due to COVID.
U-46 Superintendent Tony Sanders said in a letter home to parents the district will continue to review staffing levels on a day-by-day basis to determine when these schools can reopen and whether other schools may need to close in the coming days and weeks.
The district said it will implement its emergency e-learning plan outlined on its website, including live instruction delivered through the district's web portal. Students who cannot participate in remote learning will need their parents to call the attendance hotline to report an absence.School buildings were open Monday to let students in to get any supplies they need from their lockers.
West Chicago District 33 also announced its students would go to remote learning until Friday thanks to staffing shortages due to COVID cases. Parents were notified last week when it became clear that at least 75 of the district's 750 workers, which includes teachers and support staff, would be absent this week from the virus or for other reasons.
