Pritzker issues stern warning to school districts over safety guidelines

Published July 16, 2020 7:00pm ET



Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday told school districts to follow safety guidelines in the fall or face consequences.

“Good people with good intentions can disagree on how and when kids should go back to school,” Pritzker said during a news conference in Chicago. “But let me be clear, I wouldn’t let my own children return to a school where masks are not mandatory and serious effort hasn’t been made to keep students distanced during the day. This should not be controversial.”
