The metrics listed below will be used by the District Leadership Team to make a determination regarding reopening schools for in-person learning or, once open, needing to resume district-wide remote learning due to a resurgence of the COVID-19 virus.
Our metrics remain aligned to the positivity threshold signifying transition to Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Phase 3 mitigation measures.The District will consider the status of these metrics as it relates to Region 10 - Suburban Cook County.
State Directed Mitigation*
- Test positivity rate (rolling 7-day average) of 12% or greater in Region 10
- If Region 10 enters Phase 3 mitigation due to substantial community spread, this will also require an adaptive pause and district-wide pivot back to remote learning
