1/ Finally got the full pandemic data file via a FOIA request from #Arlington Public Schools. What follows is a historic account of how the pandemic went in the smallest "self-governing" county in the USA; also one of the wealthiest (7th) and most densely populated (12th).
2/ COVID continues to be a significant, systemic challenge that impacts schools, teachers, kids and their families — as well as education. Data can inform policies to implement for the long run to disrupt COVID & other airborne illnesses.

3/ Data that follows is from APS. Notes: APS stats lack cases from fall 2020, before the Qualtrics system (+100 cases?) Also, APS continuously updates/deletes double records. (Likely +/- 20 records out of more than 9,000 cases in our file.)

VDH outbreak list now reports 41 linked COVID-19 cases, the result of attending or working at #ArlingtonTraditional elementary school in May.
The new variants are so contagious spread to family members is extremely common after exposure at school.

Why are we tolerating so much COVID in schools and putting infectious kids & teachers back into schools every week?

😡: Almost no students who are exposed are being told directly of exposures or quarantined.
We encourage parents w/COVID+ kids to DIY your own reporting to parents and families where you can; assume APS isn't going to notify exposed. It's up to you.

The worst school, with >13% of its students catching COVID in Jan, is #Montessori Public School.
MPSA was found to be one of the worst schools for ventilation + parents reported a lack of implementation for outdoor lunch in Jan. for some classes.

So far, YTD, two dozen Arlington public schools have had more than 10% of their student body test positive for COVID-19.
In such an environment, removing masks when community transmission is so high seems like the ultimate folly.
