The Illinois State Board of Education shared a Resolution Supporting In-Person Learning for SY 2021-22, as well as a Q & A document to help address questions school districts may have. According to the resolution, it "does not itself have any effect on policy," and that "Policy will change when the Superintendent makes the declaration requiring in-person learning after conclusion of current school year, subject to favorable public health conditions at that time." The resolution addresses remote learning, blended learning, home/hospital services, public health questions, and COVID-19 testing.
