PEORIA, Ill. — A Peoria school administrator has announced a return to remote learning for students at Pleasant Hill Elementary School due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
Superintendent and Principal Lisa Weaver told news partner 25 News that in-person learning will resume after Thanksgiving break on Monday, November 29.
In a social media post to families and staff, Weaver said “several individuals” have tested positive for COVID-19.
“We are coordinating our efforts with the Peoria City County Health Department to promptly identify and monitor individuals who have had recent contact with the COVID-19 positive individual(s) to prevent further spread within our school and community,” said Weaver.
“As a result of the increased number of positive COVID-19 cases, the small size of our school district, and the overwhelming need to keep our staff and students safe and healthy, the Health Department has recommended we move to an adaptive pause in in-person learning,” Weaver also said.
