As concerned residents, we would like to express our gratitude to the District 181 Board of Education for staying diligent to the CDC’s recommendations of distancing at least 6 feet. As COVID numbers continue to rise, in Illinois and in DuPage County, specifically, the D181 Board has taken the prudent path to reducing COVID cases in the schools and the community. — Susan Blumberg-Kason, Sudha Yalamanchi and Julie Zhu, Hinsdale
