Julie Swinehart, said, “We can all agree students learn best in person,” and “it’s everyone’s goal to be back 100 % in the fall,” but no one has a crystal ball to show whether that will be possible or not.

“With the way everything is evolving and changing,” Thomas said, a task force could explore the latest information, not just from the Illinois Department of Public Health, “but also look at best practices across the country to ensure all students are back safely in class next year.” Thomas’ son is a junior at LTHS. Michael Thomas, the only LTHS Board member running for reelection, suggests the district form a COVID-19 task force, comprised of parents, students, staff, epidemiologists and other medical professionals, to really study new practices. Candidate Jill Grech from La Grange said, getting more students back on campus “can’t happen fast enough.” The oldest of her three children is a freshman this year at LTHS.Ī good first step toward that goal would be to survey parents to “see how many kids would really come back,” Grech said.Īs of March 1, 58 % of LTHS students are at school for in-person instruction two days a week in the hybrid model, district officials said.
