“Dear Barrington 220 Community,
We are now six days into our adaptive pause of the Hybrid mode and while Barrington 220 desperately would like to return to Hybrid on Monday, Nov. 9, we wanted you to know that as of today we will most likely be extending the pause until Monday, Nov. 16. A final decision will be made later this week, after further discussion at the Board of Education meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 4.
We have been reviewing the data from the Northwestern Medicine dashboard, as well as the situation at each of our school buildings. As of today, the number of new cases (Metric #1) per 100,000 persons for each of our zip codes except 60021 continues to exceed our Step 3 (Hybrid) threshold of 200. In addition, our positivity rate (Metric #2) is moving in the wrong direction for two of our zip codes. Here are the latest numbers as of 11/1/2020:
Our COVID-19 dashboard shows the daily number of positive cases and quarantine cases among students and staff at each building in the district.
- A positive case is counted on the day it is reported. Every day after, it is placed in the quarantine category.
- Quarantine cases are students and staff not attending school due to testing positive or exposure to a positive case.”
