CHICAGO (CBS)– Governor Pritzker will sign new legislation ensuring vaccinated school staff can take COVID-required sick time.
It’s a compromise with the Illinois Education Association and the Illinois Federation of Teachers.
It allows paid leave for employees who got vaccinated, but must quarantine or take care of a quarantined child who can’t go to school because of a positive COVID test.
The bill protects employees and students by allowing those who are sick to stay home to protect others.
