Schools in Clark and Champaign counties will be returning to school after the winter break starting this week.

Districts continue to adjust their learning plans due to the coronavirus pandemic to provide the safest and healthiest way possible for students to attend school.

All schools offer either in-person or virtual learning, but some may use hybrid/blended or online learning based of COVID-19 cases in the county.

As of last week, there were 83 new student and staff cases reported at ten Clark County and two Champaign County school districts. Catholic Central, Clark County Educational Service Center, Clark-Shawnee, Global Impact STEM Academy, Greenon, Mechanicsburg, Northeastern, Northwestern, Springfield, Springfield CTC, Tecumseh and Urbana all reported cases.
