DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) — Tarrant County Public Health has released a school data “dashboard” to help school leadership and residents better understand the COVID-19 metrics in their areas. According to TCPH, the majority of Tarrant County schools are now at a point where they could consider a hybrid learning model.
“The new dashboard, along with our existing education guidance, is designed to help our school leadership and parents understand their local COVID-19 infection rates so they can make the best decisions for their children,” said Tarrant County Public Health Director Vinny Taneja. “Right now, the health status of many of the school zones has improved to a point where a hybrid learning model may be appropriate.”
The data shown on the new dashboard suggests various learning scenarios that maybe appropriate to consider, based on the current health data metrics within school zones, according to TCPH. The dashboard will be updated each Monday.
Public high school attendance zones are used on the dashboard to show the COVID-19 metrics for each local area, including the elementary, middle, charter and private schools. The interactive site should allow for clicking on zones and schools, as well as using the drop-down menus to identify the local area. Users can measure the infection rate at the county, school district and high school attendance zone levels for comparison.
