Emmetsburg Community School District COVID-19 Dashboard Date:11/04/2020 |
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, ECSD strives each day to:
do everything possible to keep our students and staff safe and healthy and in school
do everything possible to allow our kids to continue to play and compete
Isolation/Quarantine Dates are established by Palo Alto Community Health
Close Contact =14 day Isolation from the date of the last contact.
Positive Test= 10 days from date of positive test.
Students and Families that are in close contact or have a positive test result will be contacted directly by Palo Alto Community Health.
In an attempt to better inform students, parents, staff, and our community, we will begin sharing the following metrics concerning virus activity within our school. ECSD will share as much information as possible while protecting the privacy of those in our school that have been affected by this virus.
6-10 | PK-12 Active Cases | PK-12 Students/Staff who tested positive and currently in isolation. This number represents numbers as of the date listed above.Numbers are presented in a range of five (5) to protect individual privacy. |

14.8% | County Positivity Rate | Palo Alto County 14 Day average positive rate as of the date shown above and listed at COVID-19 in Iowa . This number can be very fluid, and the inclusion of this number on the dashboard is intended to represent a snapshot in time. |
In a smaller school district like Emmetsburg, breaking down smaller groups such as building, grade levels or providing updates more frequently than once each week may make certain cases easily identifiable which may constitute a violation of FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). It is the District’s intent to update these numbers once each week and post this update to the District’s webpage.
