It is expected that Gov. Pritzker will announce today or tomorrow that all schools will remain closed through the end of the year.
I personally am expecting an extension to the Shelter in Place order very soon, if not in tandem with the announcement about the schools.

Illinois’ Stay-at-Home Order Could Be Extended Into June, Chicago’s Mayor Says

"April 30 is no longer, I think, a viable date," Lightfoot said on a conference call with reporters. "I would expect an extension of the stay-at-home order and the other orders that were put in place as a result of the response to COVID-19 to go through sometime in May. It certainly could go into June."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker declined to give a definitive answers on if the order will be extended and for how long, but noted Tuesday that changes are expected.

"We will be making changes, but it is true that [the order] is working," Pritzker said. "It seems to me to remove it entirely is to open everything back up to infection."
