Rantoul City School District 137 issued the following announcement on Aug. 15.
If you chose BlendEd Academy, you change your mind at any time to switch to LEARN Academy. If you chose LEARN Academy, you cannot change to BlendEd Academy until 2nd semester (Jan). You must notify us by Dec 1st (we'll send reminders). Why are we clarifying? As more and more guidelines come out like the one below, we continue to understand that last minute notices of having to stay home for an extended period of time is so difficult for most families.
More updates from the Aug 13th IDPH document (trying to break these up into readable tidbits):
If a student is sent home sick with suspected COVID-19 symptoms (e.g., runny nose, fever, diarrhea, etc.), must all their siblings/household members be sent home as well and quarantined for 14 calendar days?
Yes, if one of the household members is being evaluated for COVID-19, the rest of the household must be quarantined until an alternative diagnosis is made or negative result received. If the sick student becomes a confirmed case (i.e., tests positive for COVID-19) or a probable case (i.e., has COVID-like symptoms and is epidemiologically linked to known case), the local health department (LHD) conducting
contact tracing will place household contacts, including siblings, in quarantine for 14 calendar days. The health department also will provide guidance on how to safely quarantine and isolated within the household.
