Dear Parents and Staff,
As you may already know, late on February 4, 2022 Sangamon County Circuit Judge Raylene Grischow entered a temporary restraining order (TRO) prohibiting the defendant school districts from (i) requiring students and teachers to wear masks, absent a lawful order of quarantine issued in conformance with the IDPH Act; (ii) excluding students and teachers based on an alleged close contact unless due process is afforded and IDPH procedures are followed; and (iii) requiring weekly COVID-19 testing for unvaccinated employees without first providing due process of law.
It is anticipated the Governor, the Illinois Department of Public Health, and the Illinois State Board of Education (the State Defendants), will immediately appeal the Judge’s order to the appellate court seeking to reverse the TRO. In fact, the State Defendants have already requested Judge Grischow to stay the enforcement of the TRO until the appellate court rules on the matter.
It is the intention of Central CUSD #4 to comply with the TRO until otherwise directed by the trial or appellate court. While the district encourages the use of masks and COVID-19 testing (which the district will continue to make available), it will not exclude students or staff who choose either not to wear a mask or to be tested.
We appreciate your continued support as we navigate the changes to COVID-19 guidance in addition to the ever-changing legal situation.
Sincerely,
Tonya Evans, Superintendent

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to share with you that the isolation and quarantine period for students and staff members sick with COVID-19 or considered a close contact has been reduced to five days.
Yesterday, the Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois State Board of Education and Iroquois County Health Department announced that the agencies have adopted CDC guidance for P-12 schools that halves the isolation and quarantine period. The Centers for Disease Control updated its guidance for P-12 schools on January 6.
As a result, effective immediately, Central CUSD # 4 will implement the updated guidance. As soon as possible, we will contact staff, students and families who are currently impacted by a quarantine with a revised return to school plan.
Thank you for your cooperation as we implement the changes.
Sincerely,
Tonya Evans
