Sen. Rose Weighs In On Schools Reopening

As school districts in Illinois announce their plans for the reopening of school, a local lawmaker says those strategies are going to look different all over Illinois.

 

State Sen. Chapin Rose believes students need to be back in school but there also needs to be protections for teachers and staff at these buildings. As districts make their plans, he points out there is a lot of outside mandates school leaders have to keep in mind that is making this process difficult.

 

 

Sen. Rose indicates there are varying opinions among superintendents in his district and there are varying plans that are coming together for his area as well.

 

 

According to Sen. Rose, each community appears to be making plans based on the severity of the coronavirus facing their communities. He points out there are mandates that are going to make some aspects of a return to school incredibly difficult.

 

 

The Mahomet Republican believes the State of Illinois feels like they have given districts the freedom to make their own decisions but school leaders say they feel like they are tied up and the restrictions only get tighter as the State changes things.
