POWAY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT COVID-19 DASHBOARD
All confirmed positive COVID-19 incidents related to Poway Unified school sites and offices will be posted to this page. For the purposes of this dashboard, PUSD is distinguishing between school-based cases and community-based cases. Starting in December, we will have two separate columns for every month in the table below:
- "S.B." School-Based cases:
a. school-based cases will potentially impact individuals' health and wellness at our school or office because there may be site-related exposure OR a positive case was on campus during an infectious period
b. a school-based case MAY cause classroom closure or other precatuionary measures
c. we will follow the
San Diego County Office of Eduction Decision Tree and Guidelines around isolating and notifying close contacts, as needed
- Known "C.B." Community-Based cases:
a. community-based cases DO NOT impact individuals' health and wellness at our school or office because no one at the site was in close contact with the positive individual during the infectious period. Per the CDC definition, this means no one at the site was within 6 feet of the infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to test specimen collection) until the time the patient was isolated
b. this dashboard will include all
known community-based cases related to PUSD; this dashboard may not reflect all community-based cases involving our staff and students because PUSD relies on notification from public health or self-reporting from staff or families
c. we will follow the
San Diego County Office of Education Decision Tree and Guidelines around isolating the positive case, as needed
The Dashboard is updated at least once a week and when we are notified of confirmed cases.
*Important Note: PUSD does not wait to notify close contacts upon initial report of a positive case. However, we do wait for official confirmation from the public health department before listing the case on this dashboard. This could result in a delay of cases appearing on this dashboard or a discrepancy between the number of notifications received and actual number of confirmed cases (when the case is not confirmed positive by public health).

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SCHOOL CLOSURE
What are the criteria for closing a school to in-person learning? Individual school closure, in which all students and staff are not on campus, is recommended based on the number of cases and stable groups impacted, which suggest that active in-school transmission is occurring. Closure should be done in consultation with the local health office. Situations that may indicate the need for school closure:
• Within a 14-day period, an outbreak* has occurred in 25% or more stable groups in the school.
• Within a 14-day period, at least three outbreaks have occurred in the school AND more than 5% of the school population is infected.
• The LHO may also determine school closure is warranted for other reasons, including results from public health investigation or other local epidemiological data.
*an outbreak is defined as: at least three probable or confirmed COVID-19 cases within a 14-day period in people who are epidemiologically-linked† in the setting, are from different households, and are not identified as close contacts‡ of each other in any other case investigation.
Length of closure: 14 days, or according to a decision made in consultation with the local health office. The State Safe Schools for All Technical Assistance teams (TA teams), comprised of experts across multiple state agencies, will be available to assist schools with disease investigation for those with outbreaks that cannot find resources to investigate the outbreaks. The TA teams will also be available to help schools that close in order to identify and address any remediable safety issues.
If a school is closed, when may it reopen? Schools may typically reopen after 14 days and if the following have occurred:
• Cleaning and disinfection
• Public health investigation
• Consultation with the local health department
What are the criteria for closing a LEA (local educational agency) aka school district? A school district should close if 25% or more of schools in a district have closed due to COVID-19 within a 14-day period and in consultation with the local health department.
If a school district is closed, when may it reopen? School districts may typically reopen after 14 days, in consultation with the local health department.
REPORT CORONAVIRUS HEALTH/SAFETY CONCERNS
PUSD strives to maintain all health and safety protocols at our school campuses. While we know that there will a learning curve for all of our students and staff, please let us know of any repeated or prolonged instances of non-compliance to our established guidelines (as outlined in our Guidebook), and we will bring this to the appropriate school or department administrator's attention.
