NOLA-PS Weekly COVID-19 Related Updates
What:
天博体育 (NOLA-PS) is committed to the health and safety of our school community, and we will continue to monitor the data that measures the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and do everything we can to ensure our schools can return to in-person learning as soon as it's safe to do so.
NOLA-PS will continue to publicly share each week the number of confirmed cases and precautionary quarantines that our schools self-report while the District remains in distance learning. We will also remain in close contact with the Louisiana Department of Health and our health advisers as we work toward our ultimate goal of reinstating in-person learning for all students.
When:
Weekly updates will be released each Monday afternoon starting today, Monday, Jan. 11.

Visit our dashboard to see the latest data that shows the impact of COVID-19 in our school community.
Update:
As of noon on Monday, January 11, the District is tracking a total of 93 active cases of COVID-19 (52 staff; 41 students) among 47 schools in our school community. Of the 92 cases, all were newly confirmed since our last report on Dec. 17, 2020.
The District's COVID Case Tracker reports active cases over an approximately two-week period. For the purposes of our dashboard, an active case is defined as a COVID-19 case that is confirmed and within their isolation period.
All schools are required to report positive cases to the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and the District. The District is continuing to stay on top of updates, collaborate with state and local agencies, and work closely with our school leaders, task force, and community stakeholders to ensure a safe 2020-2021 school year.
The data included in our COVID-19 Tracker reflects self-reported cases from our schools and provides the real-time impact of the pandemic in our school community.
