COVID Tracking

Update - January 2021

Englewood Schools will now be using school-based data regarding the number of cases and quarantines in our schools. We will no longer rely on the community data for school openings or closures, though we will continue to provide daily slides for our community's information.

Metrics Overview - Used August to December 2020

Englewood Schools used four metrics (with data specific to Arapahoe County) to determine if it was safe to open schools and under what conditions we shifted from In-Person learning to Remote learning.

The metrics were based on science, facts and the best interests of our students and staff. They were NOT based on politics, perception, popularity or what other school districts are doing.

How Did the Metrics Work?

The metric was designed to rate four (4) data points associated with the presence of the virus in Arapahoe County.  Each data point was assigned a rating as outlined below and totaled for a rating of relative safety. The rating was tracked over time and needed to represent a sustained change (7-14 days) to consider a change in whether school was In-Person or remote for the safety of students and staff.  The rating was tracked and presented every day in a transparent manner to our community. 

The Metric used the following data sets for Arapahoe County:

1. Test positivity rate (14 day average)
2. Hospitalizations (daily)
3. 14-day incident rate per 100,000 residents
4. Daily cases (3-day average)

Where Does Englewood Schools Get the Data?

The data comes from Tri-County Health:
