Saw this one coming. He just had to:
As concerns over the spread of the coronavirus continue to mount, Gov. JB Pritzker said Friday he is ordering all public and private schools in Illinois to close for nearly two weeks, starting Tuesday.
“This is the right thing to do to protect our students, and their teachers, and school workers, and parents,” he said at a press conference Friday afternoon at the Thompson Center.
Pritzker said schools would be open on Monday so teachers could distribute remote learning lesson plans to students. The governor said, for now, schools are expected to reopen on March 30.
“We will close all K-12 schools, public and private, statewide,” Pritzker said. “I understand the gravity of this action and what it means for every community in our state.”

"expected to reopen on March 30"
no way (barring a miracle cure). I'm guessing at least thru Easter weekend.
What a huge jumble for our dedicated teachers and administrators. And a confusing mess for all the students.
But it had to be done.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
