Chicago leaders just released a plan that includes in-person learning for most students in the fall, with an exception of an all-remote schedule for high school juniors and seniors.
Parents will have the option to opt for full-time remote learning.
In announcing its plan, Chicago joins New York in breaking ranks with some other large cities that have said they will hold school virtually in the fall. To see what Illinois districts are planning, find our tracker here.
Chicago Public Schools will host five virtual meetings starting Monday to solicit community feedback on the plan, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot has said that what school will ultimately look like in the fall will hinge on the spread of the coronavirus and the advice of experts.
