The California Department of Public Health guidance outlines multiple
scenarios for continued safety measures should school staff or students
be symptomatic, be exposed or test positive for COVID-19. An individual
school site would close for distance learning if at least five percent
of the student body and staff are diagnosed with COVID-19 within a
14-day period. An individual school district would close if a quarter
of its schools have been closed due to positive COVID-19 cases within
two weeks.
Although not required by law, nearly all Placer
County school districts serving grades TK-12 have developed
COVID-19 School Dashbaords with the purpose to provide accurate and
transparent
information related to COVID-19 incidents specifically connected to
school campuses and
district work locations.
The data reported by school districts reflects presumed
positive or confirmed cases of individuals who worked or attended school
while infectious, during in-person instruction. Positive case
information is collected from Placer County Public Health (PCPH) or by
individual self-reporting. School district staff verifies data with PCPH and
takes direction from them regarding potential isolation,
quarantine timelines and presumed positive cases. When viewing individual school district dashboards, please make note of the reporting period as it may vary district to district.
School Districts
If you can not find your school district, they may not yet have a COVID-19 School Dashboard in place. Please contact your school district directly for additional information. Information about the broader picture of COVID-19 in
Placer County is provided in the Placer County Public Health Dashboard.
Governor Gavin Newsom also launched the Safe Schools for All Hub
as a one-stop shop for information about safe in-person instruction.
The state has updated its schools reopening maps to include outbreak
data by school district. View the data for public schools by selecting a
specific district on the School Districts Reopening Map. The map includes reported outbreaks since January 1, 2021.
PCOE Student Programs
The purpose
of the PCOE COVID-19 School Dashboard is to provide accurate and transparent
information related to COVID-19 incidents connected to PCOE programs and administrative work locations, while maintaining privacy and confidentiality of our students and staff. Data reflects laboratory-confirmed positive cases of individuals who attended a PCOE program or work location in-person for the preceeding two weeks (March 29 and April 5).
