The University of Illinois Chicago and Northwestern University will be joining a number of other colleges that will have students return to remote learning when they come back from holiday break.
ALGONQUIN, Illinois - A suburban Chicago school district has canceled classes on Monday, January 3, because of COVID-19.
District 300 includes schools in Algonquin, Barrington Hills, Carpentersville and Hoffman Estates.
