Arlington Heights Elementary District 25 plans to return to full, in-person, five-day-a-week instruction starting with summer school June 16 and continuing with the next school year beginning Aug. 19, officials said.
The move would serve as an expansion of the current four-day-a-week system for families that have chosen the in-person option. It likely would also mean continuation of any mitigation strategies, including mask wearing, recommended by the Cook County Department of Public Health at the time, said Superintendent Lori Bein.
A remote learning option may also be part of the mix for the fall whether the state mandates it, or District 25 chooses to offer it but the district would change the format into a remote academy taught separately from in-person instruction, Bein said.
