A private, Christian school in the Chicago suburbs temporarily lost its state recognition after it delayed updating its health guidelines to include Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s in-school mask mandate.

Timothy Christian School in Elmhurst, Illinois, published a video of the school’s superintendent stating that leadership intends on waiting to implement a mask mandate until closer to the first day of school. Superintendent Matt Davidson cited construction projects in the high school that will delay Timothy Christian students from returning to school at the same time as most public schools in the state.
