Tracking COVID-19

 

CPS is sharing data about actionable COVID-19 cases to keep the public informed about how the pandemic is affecting the district and its community. Case counts represent the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases associated with CPS buildings. Case counts are not a measure of transmission in schools and numerous studies have shown that schools are not sites of significant COVID-19 transmission.

COVID-19 & Readiness Data

CPS is tracking and posting information on COVID-19 cases, surveillance testing, and metrics on school readiness to provide public transparency into our monitoring efforts during the pandemic.
