DCPS updates dashboard to track COVID-19 cases in schools

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Duval County Public Schools has updated its COVID-19 Case Dashboard.

The dashboard was first released in September by the Duval County school district to help parents and students keep track of the number of reported COVID-19 cases in schools.

The dashboard shows the number of students and staff attending or working in brick-and-mortar schools with confirmed cases of COVID-19.

The updated dashboard provides a districtwide total number of cases. As of Monday night, that number was 402 (280 student cases and 122 staff cases). It also provides a distribution of cases by school type -- elementary, middle, high and combined -- and provides a map showing cases throughout the district.

In an update earlier this month, the district said that in an effort to improve the timeliness of reporting, a COVID-19 case will be posted when it’s confirmed. Prior to that update, cases were posted at the completion of the contact investigation of a confirmed case.

It’s also worth noting the dashboard only reports DCPS employee or student cases impacting school operations. The total number of employees or students diagnosed with COVID-19 may be higher, according to DCPS.

The chart is now updated daily by approximately 8 p.m.
