(Springfield, IL) — The Illinois State Board of Education is threatening to pull recognition from schools defying Governor J.B. Pritzker’s mask mandate. ISBE officials say 34 schools are on probation as of yesterday for not mandating indoor masking for students, faculty, and staff. Schools not requiring masks risk losing their state funding and recognition as well as their ability to compete in sports. Four additional schools have regained full recognition status after submitting action plans and changing masking policies.
Vandalia School District and South Central School District are two that are on the list. Also on the list are Carlyle, North Clay, Patoka and Beecher City School Districts.
