In accordance with the most recent release of the Governor’s executive order, CDC, IDPH, and ISBE school guidance, layered mitigations will still be in place, such as physical distancing, masking indoors and on buses, quarantining, testing of those with symptoms (with parental approval), and increased sanitizing, especially in common areas. Those would be available upon parent request. We will have other options to avoid a quarantine, like testing. It is our planning assumption unvaccinated students will be placed in quarantine if they are in close contact to a positive COVID person or they are COVID positive. The ACHD will be handling all quarantines. The nurses will be following the (CDC/IDPH) or (health department) guidelines to assist in contact tracing.

Per guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education, school will resume to fully in-person learning for all student attendance days in grades PK-12. We will use our greenspace and outdoor opportunities. We will still social distance as best we can in classrooms and hallways, using three feet distance as our goal.

The plan is vetted through the Adams County Health Department, and we are recommending approval by the QPS Board of Education. We have built a plan that meets the needs of our community and our students. We will take lessons learned from 181 days of in-person instruction in a pandemic in ten schools and lessons from remote options at all levels. In Quincy, we will look out for the safety of our students. Here is what the Quincy School Board approved Wednesday:ĬOVID GUIDELINES TO START THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEARĪs we prepare for the 21-22 School Year, our world may be much different than last year or previous years.
