'Noncompliance Is Not An Option' For Students Who Refuse To Wear Masks
"This is possibly among the most complex challenges I've seen in my nearly 30 years in public school education," said one administrator.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Paper, pens, and masks are all required supplies for thousands of Illinois students returning back to classrooms this week – and Illinois schools can get in big trouble if they don’t abide by the mandate that requires all teachers and students, and everyone else in school buildings, to abide by the state’s mask mandates.
“This is possibly among the most complex challenges I’ve seen in my nearly 30 years in public school education,” Said Dr. Michel Libelfeld, superintendent of North Shore School District 112. Lubelfeld is preparing for the return of 3,700 grade school kids this week in his district, which includes multiple schools in Highland Park and one in Highwood. Exactly how the district will handle a student mask refusal is a work in progress — but Lubelfeld said it will start with a call home.
