With students returning to classrooms, the State of Illinois was quick to send a message this week. The State Board of Education moved to strip a suburban private school that had planned to ignore the new mask requirement of its recognition status.
Illinois, like most of the country, is seeing a rise in cases due to the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant. That has led the Pritzker Administration to demand vaccinations among frontline state workers.

Our panel features host Sean Crawford, Statehouse Editor Hannah Meisel, Emeritus Professor Charlie Wheeler and guest Tony Arnold, who covers government and politics for WBEZ.
