Metric to Resume In-Person Learning...
The following metrics will be utilized to determine when in-person learning will resume. The district will use a two week rolling window of data. The window will begin for data reported on October 26 for the dates of October 11-17. In order to resume in-person learning, there must be two consecutive weeks with each week’s score being 3 or less. As per IDPH, all metrics will be updated weekly, based on the previous week (i.e., previous Sunday through Saturday). The metrics below were created by IDPH for Counties and Schools to use for re-opening discussions. See the bottom of the page for an example data set.

Timeline to Resume In-Person Learning...
Once the metric outlined above is met, the district will resume in-person learning by phasing in the different building levels. This was based on the parent survey data on the number of students requesting to be remote and in-person, Illinois State Board of Education guidance and consultation with Fulton County Health Department. After the metric is met, the following timeline of events will be followed. The actual school resume dates may be adjusted to account for holidays or breaks already scheduled on the district school calendar (e.g. Election Day, Thanksgiving, Winter Break, etc.).
Mitigation Efforts...
Once the metric is met and the timeline to resume in-person learning starts, the following mitigation efforts will be utilized to help control transmission. These metrics will no longer be utilized once the district resumes in-person learning and schools re-open.
Positive Case Percentage Per Building
Over the course of a 7 day rolling window during the timeline or thereafter, if 3% of the students and staff in attendance test positive for COVID-19, the school will automatically revert to full remote learning for at least the next 14 calendar days.
IDPH/ISBE Guidance or Governor Executive Order
Over the course of the timeline or thereafter, the district will revert to full remote learning based on the latest public health guidance and/or Executive Order from the Governor.
Contact Tracing
Over the course of the timeline or thereafter, the district will work with the Fulton County Health Department and families to follow contact tracing protocol with confirmed exposures to COVID-19 positive cases.
