Illinois Closing Schools

Pritzker announced yesterday afternoon.
But, I knew something was brewing.
I subbed math yesterday and knew teachers had meeting after school. On a Friday. One, hmmmm.
Then about 5 minutes before last bell, announcement tells students to take devices home for the weekend. Hmmmm, number 2.
About 30 minutes after I get home, governor news conference on Chicago news. School canceled for at least 2 weeks.
Most of the districts have spring break week of 23rd or 30th, so some will be 2 weeks, others 3.
Getting real.

Daughter’s school told students to
Bring all class items home for break

They’re thinking about closing as well
