The Anne Arundel County Public School System updated its COVID data dashboard today. It reflects cases where contract tracing has been completed and data fully entered as of noon on September 20, 2021. IT does not include cases in which tracing, documentation, or determination are still in progress. The data dashboard was due to be updated on Wednesday, September 22, 201, but they decided to update it early.

According to the data dashboard, 1,092 students and 21 staff are currently quarantine. There are 170 students and 14 staff with active cases. The cases are as distributed as follows: 9 student cases at charter/contract schools; 76 student cases at elementary schools; 33 cases at middle schools; 51 cases at high schools; and 1 case at a specialty center.

The map shows the active COVID-19 case in Anne Arundel County Public Schools by feeder system as of noon on September 20, 2021. The map includes student and staff active cases. According to the map the feeder system with the most active case, 24 is the North County High School feeder system: 3 high school cases; 4 middle school cases; and 15 elementary school cases. The feeder system with the least active cases is the South River High School feeder system: 1 high school case and 4 elementary school cases. This is an update of a previous map.

I have improved my COVID cases by feeder system for Anne Arundel County Public School System map. Adding the names of each of the elementary and middle schools in each feeder system would be time-consuming, but the totals for each type were fairly easy to add. I totaled up the cases using a pivot table I built in Excel, then I imported the data into Datawrapper. I matched the data by the high school of each feeder system. I have had the issue of the mapping system “accepting” this data on the technical front.

Data Notes

The feeder system was as reported by the Anne Arundel County Public School System. Total active cases include student and teacher/staff cases. Please visit the AACPS COVID 19 Dashboard for more details about the data.

As of September 15, 2021, there were 89 active cases: 85 students and 4 staff. There were 578 students and 4 staff quarantining. The number of current quarantine cases above includes those who are COVID-19 positive through confirmed testing, those who have been designated as having COVID-like symptoms, and those who are probable cases as defined below on this page. It also includes those who have been determined to be close contacts of those persons and who are not fully vaccinated. The data includes cases traced in schools as well as those involving AACPS students that are traced in the community and have no immediate impact on schools.

I am aware that George Fox Middle School has been renamed Northeastern Middle School, but I am not sure how to change the name in the shapefile. I will need to figure it out in the future. Schools without a physical district are not included.
