[quote=Anonymous]Florida public school that started week 3 today, and things are looking fine.  School district has around 50k students (i think 20% or so doing DL) and there are 15 positive cases so far.  Obviously within the first two weeks, we wouldn't expect to see school spread yet -- those kids were likely bringing it TO school, so time will tell over the next few weeks.

Next county over is similarly sized and started two weeks prior -- so they're starting week 5 today.  I just checked their dashboard and they're at around 60 cases.  That county is very similar in make up to ours, and since March has had extremely consistent COVID data as our county, so i see it as a good predictor of where we'll probably be in 2 weeks. I'd assume that number reflects typical community spread, and not a school explosion.

Also, there's discussion that Florida DOH is actively preventing local districts from publishing their data - i haven't bothered reading too deep into that.  But our district and the one next door are each maintaining a public dashboard, with positive cases by school, and whether they are teacher vs student.  It doesn't list quarantine numbers - just positive numbers.  I feel like it would involve too much planning and sophistication for the local school board to overtly lie or fudge the numbers, so i'm assuming those numbers are legit.  [/quote]
