School District launches online dashboard to track COVID-19 cases in schools

April 9, 2021

The School District of Philadelphia has launched an online dashboard that tracks confirmed positive COVID-19 cases in schools. The dashboard includes information on the number of tests performed and positive cases in schools, as well as cases confirmed off-site that have been reported to the District.

Dashboard users can track COVID-19 cases overall in the District and individually per school.

Initial dashboard data shows a very low COVID positivity rate in the District. So far, there have been 64 confirmed COVID-19 cases in District schools, with less than 1 percent of students and staff testing positive for the virus each week over the last four weeks through April 3.

Twenty-two additional schools have reopened for in-person learning for students in grades preK-2 this week, including Henry C. Lea and Samuel Powel schools in West Philly. The District will reopen schools for students in grades 3-5 and students with complex needs in grades 6-8, which is Phase 2 of the District’s Hybrid Learning Plan, on April 26.
