SVVSD launches COVID dashboard
County reports additional death
The St. Vrain Valley School District launched its own coronavirus dashboard Thursday as Boulder County reported an additional death tied to the virus and 31 new cases.
Also Thursday, the University of Colorado Boulder’s dashboard showed seven students have been suspended over health order violations since Aug. 17 and tallied seven additional coronavirus cases. The school district’s dashboard tracks cases per school, updated weekdays by 8:30 a.m. To date, 31 cases have been confirmed within the district, data shows.
Data is divided into two columns: cases confirmed before Monday and cases confirmed after
Monday, and whether the cases reported were found in students or staff.
The dashboard does not distinguish between students who live in Boulder County and students who live in Weld County. Students or staff who test positive and reside in Boulder County are included in the county’s numbers, Boulder County Public Health spokeswoman Chana Goussetis said Thursday.
Since Monday, one student has tested positive at Erie High School.
The dashboard shows the following positive results prior to Monday: one student at Burlington Elementary School in Longmont, two staff at Erie Elementary School, four students at Indian Peaks Elementary School in Longmont, two students at Launched Virtual Academy, two staff at Main Street School in Longmont, four students at Mountain View Elementary School in Longmont, two students at Niwot High School, one staff member at Northridge Elementary School in Longmont, one staff member at Sanborn Elementary School in Longmont, one student at Silver Creek High School in Longmont, two students at Sunset Middle School in Longmont, and four students at Thunder Valley PK-8 in Frederick. The dashboard lists one staff member of multiple schools and three staff members in central administration who tested positive.
The dashboard does not include information on Apex Home School Enrichment Program, Aspen Ridge Preparatory School, Carbon Valley Academy, Flagstaff Charter Academy, Imagine Charter, St. Vrain Community Montessori School or Twin Peaks Charter Academy.
CU Boulder’s dashboard also shows 94 on-campus tests and 718 screening tests were performed Wednesday. There are 23 isolation spaces in use, or 4%.
Since Aug. 24, the first day of classes, there have been 1,097 positive results at CU Boulder from 5,121 tests, data shows.
In addition to the seven suspensions, the dashboard shows 324 individuals have required “educational interventions” and 58 individuals were put on probation since Aug. 17.
This week there are 34 students actively not allowed on campus “pending adjudication of their conduct hearing,” the dashboard shows, and 10 students this week are not allowed to attend any classes, remote or in person, pending adjudication of their conduct hearing.
CU Boulder will resume some in-person classes next week, officials announced Wednesday, following the steady decrease in cases among students.
The county’s 31 additional cases brings the total to 4,748 cases, and of those, 215 have been hospitalized. There are 219 disease investigations in progress.
The county’s death toll is at 81 following the additional death reported Thursday. The individual was 43 years old and died Oct. 1, Goussetis said. No other details about the person were available.
County data updated Thursday shows there are 146.2 new cases per 100,000 in the last 14 days. This metric is used by the state health department to monitor the spread of the virus in the county.
