The state is launching a new online dashboard showing which schools have coronavirus cases among staff and students. It will show the previous week’s case count in a searchable database that can show the totals for individual schools. Districts have now been reporting their data to the state for the last six weeks. Some districts have also been making their numbers public on their own websites, but this will be the first time the data has been available centrally for the whole state.
