“Heartbreaking” puts it mildly:

Heartbreaking. “We have left so many children behind.” Look at the data in this story and stop saying the pandemic did it all. School boards and unions chose to do this when data said they could have had school.https://t.co/ilT3zkru4J https://t.co/DMSH4vokfA

This line? Wow:

"I will never forgive myself for not fighting more" is basically what a lot of us are saying to each other. https://t.co/w9g9TJNr45

“The vulnerable, like my daughter, have lost”:

"This district uses #BeBold next to everything, you continue hiding behind others instead of leading and fighting for the kids that need you the most. You've left them behind while you say that there's no lost learning. The vulnerable, like my daughter, have lost."

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker is expected to announce an easing of mask mandates later today, but he will reportedly keep them for schools:

WGN Investigates has learned that easing restrictions will likely happen in stages with requirements for masking in most indoor public places fully lifted by March 1.

Notably, Pritzker is expected to attempt to keep a masking requirement in place in schools as the state appeals a judge’s ruling that many school districts have interpreted to mean they can’t enforce masking among students.
