Closed by governor Public and private K-12 schools across Illinois, including Putnam County Elementary School in Hennepin, will be closed until March 30, as ordered by Gov. J.B. Pritzker March 13 in response to the coronavirus outbreak. When he received word of the closures Friday, Putnam County School District Superintendent Carl Carlson tweeted: “Governor just announced shutdown of schools March 17th-30th. PC will run a regular school day on March 16th. We will use the time to transition into an E-Learning platform. More information will be forthcoming shortly.” (PCR photo/Jim Dunn)
