NOLA-PS Weekly COVID-19 Related Updates


What:

As students return to in-person learning, NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) is committed to the health and safety of our school community, and we will continue to monitor the data that measures the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and do everything we can to ensure our K-8 students remain in in-person learning and our high school students can return to a hybrid model as soon as it's safe to do so.


NOLA-PS will continue to publicly share each week the number of confirmed cases and precautionary quarantines that our schools self-report while the District remains in both in-person and distance learning. We will also remain in close contact with the Louisiana Department of Health and our health advisers as we work toward our ultimate goal of reinstating in-person learning for all students.


NOLA-PS has added new information to the COVID-19 Case Tracker to provide cumulative data of self-reported cases in our public schools since reporting began on Sept. 21, 2020. The NOLA-PS COVID-19 Case Tracker now provides the number of active and cumulative positive cases of COVID-19 by school site, and the number of positive cases of COVID-19 reported over time for the district and by school site.



When:

Weekly updates will be released each Monday afternoon at 4pm.



Where:

Visit our COVID Case Tracker dashboard to see the latest data that shows the impact of COVID-19 in our school community.



Update:

As of noon on Monday, February 1, the District is tracking a total of 35 active cases of COVID-19 (12 staff; 23 students) among 23 schools in our school community. Of the 35 active cases, 24 were newly confirmed since our last report on Jan. 25, 2021.


The District's COVID Case Tracker reports active cases over an approximately two-week period. For the purposes of our dashboard, an active case is defined as a COVID-19 case that is confirmed and within their isolation period.


All schools are required to report positive cases to the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and the District. The District is continuing to stay on top of updates, collaborate with state and local agencies, and work closely with our school leaders, task force, and community stakeholders to ensure a safe 2020-2021 school year.


The data included in our COVID-19 Tracker reflects self-reported cases from our schools and provides the real-time impact of the pandemic in our school community.
