Broward County Public Schools Launches Coronavirus (COVID-19) Dashboard

By Terry Jaillet

Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) launched a webbased dashboard to give parents up-to-date information on the number of within their school community who have tested positive for COVID-19. The dashboard, which is updated daily, can be broken down by students and faculty and is sortable by school.

The data are reported based on the day the positive test is reported to the school. Confirmed cases are as reported to the school system’s Risk Management and Coordinated Student Health Services, based on the date tested as reported to the District. Parents are cautioned that there could be delays in the reporting.

BCPS created the dashboard to give as much transparency as possible to families with children in school. The district reopened with mask mandates at all schools. The school board has been in a public battle with Governor Ron Desantis over the board’s decision to require masks.

According to the New Your Times’ Coronavirus Case Count, Broward County has seen an increasing number of new cases since June. The county as a whole is currently averaging more than 2,000 new cases a day, which is the highest level of new cases since the epidemic began.

The Broward County Commission has also created several dashboards to help residents get up-to-date information. These include a map showing the percent of residents who are vaccinated and a report on hospital utilization. These dashboards can be found at www.broward.org/CoronaVirus/ Pages/Dashboards.aspx
