IEA Wants School Coronavirus Outbreaks Publicized

One of Illinois’ largest teacher’s unions wants the state to ‘out’ schools with coronavirus outbreaks. The Illinois Education Association yesterday called on the Illinois Department of Public Health to publicly name schools where students or teachers have tested positive for the virus. A new story says 44 schools across the state have seen outbreaks, but no one is saying which schools or even which communities. IEA President Kathi Griffin says schools in Illinois should only be open for in-person classes if those schools are safe from the virus.
