Kaneland Superintendent Todd Leden said in an email that there have been 150 “instances of students needing to be quarantined.”
Batavia District 101 does not have a dashboard available to the public, but a spokeswoman for the district said administrators are working on establishing one soon.
“The Kane County Health Department has been handling all contact tracing for our district this year, so we do not have details on the total number of students that have been quarantined,” spokeswoman Holly Deitchman said in an email.
Both Kaneland and Batavia said that the decisions about quarantining a student (vaccinated or unvaccinated) are made using the Exclusion Guidance Decision Tree, which can be found on the Kane County Health Department’s website.
