BR Families, we are aware of new CDC guidance regarding optional masking and social distancing for individuals who have been fully vaccinated (two weeks after final dose). IDPH has indicated that they are working on updating guidance for IL, which would include guidance for public schools. As we have followed IDPH guidance all year, we are awaiting their continued guidance through this new development. Once received, we will review it and communicate again to let everyone know how we will proceed. All current COVID protocols remain the same until further notice.Thank you! #br_u_knighted
