The COVID-19 dashboard provides systemwide and individual school data on positive COVID-19 cases among students and staff. MCPS tracks staff and student COVID-19 cases as reported by positive individuals. An explanation of common terms is below:

• Case — A person who reports a positive COVID-19 test result.
• # of Reported Cases (Last 7 Days) — New COVID-19 cases that have been self-reported in the last 7 days. This number reflects positive tests voluntarily reported by staff and students/parents using the MCPS COVID-19 Reporting Form and may not include all new cases in the school community. Case numbers are reflected on the date the positive test was reported and not the date the test was taken or determined to be positive.
• # of Reported Cases (All) - Positive COVID-19 cases that have been self-reported since August 22, 2022.

Why is MCPS providing this information?

MCPS is publishing COVID-19 cases by school as a public health service to inform staff, students and families of COVID-19 cases across the school district. Case numbers at a specific school or worksite may factor into personal decisions about health and safety, as individuals consider their own or close family members’ COVID-19 risk factors. All reported COVID-19 staff and student COVID-19 cases will be displayed on this dashboard.

How often will the COVID-19 School Dashboard be updated?

The MCPS COVID-19 data dashboard is updated automatically daily to reflect reported cases.
