Group urges reopening schools for in-person instruction.
A parents group pushing for the in-person reopening of Evanston/Skokie School District 65 is asking the district to set up a medical advisory board involving experts from the community.
The “Coalition to Reopen District 65 Schools” says such a panel can help guide the school system as it decides whether to reopen for in-person classes. The group also wants to host town hall meetings to answer questions about the COVID-19 pandemic.
District 65 has been on remote learning since school began in August. There is a Jan. 19 target for reopening the buildings, assuming the COVID outbreak allows. According to Superintendent Devon Horton, the district is guided by state and district-level metrics, and by mitigation measures from the Illinois Department of Public Health.
