Students at York High School in Elmhurst will switch to remote learning for two weeks starting Wednesday as a result of rising COVID-19 test positivity rates in DuPage County.

At least one major school district is reverting to fully remote learning for two weeks in response to rising COVID-19 case rates in DuPage County, while several others say they'll keep schools open.

The setback comes two weeks after it became one of the first school systems in the county to bring all students back to classrooms for hybrid learning.

While the county health department is now recommending schools operate with 100% remote learning, it's ultimately up to individual districts to decide whether to do so.

The DuPage health department has seen reports of COVID-19 cases in dozens of students and school employees, but the majority are not linked to outbreak activity inside schools, officials said Monday.

In one scenario, the district would move classes online if all three of the following criteria are met: Any single county health department metric indicates substantial transmission for three weeks, one or more schools have had to cease daily operations because of building-level targets, and the health department is concerned "spread is happening in the local school community.".
