PHOENIX — Editor's Note: The above video is from a Nov. 11 report on how students and parents have been affected by the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
A number of Maricopa County school districts are currently in "red areas" based on new COVID-19 data from state and county health officials.
Maricopa County designed a dashboard that show areas' recommended learning scenario based on COVID-19 community spread data over two consecutive weeks.
The dashboard breaks up the learning scenarios based on the level of risk of COVID-19 spread, which include red (substantial), yellow (moderate) and green (minimal).
Red areas mean there is a "substantial" risk level and the recommended scenario is to prepare for virtual learning with onsite support.
Data used to generate the reports are based on the benchmarks set by the Arizona Department of Health Services to safely re-open schools.
