Our COVID Safety Strategy is built on CDPH Guidance & the most recent data. Our protocols successfully protected thousands of students & staff since October 2020.

These countermeasures have protected thousands of staff & students since October 2020 (when we opened small cohorts) and keep our schools open.

Santa Cruz City Schools COVID Dashboard
We track all employees and students with confirmed positive cases (testing positive for COVID-19 after being physically present on our school/district facilities) and exposures (based on "close contact" or 15+ minutes over a 24 hour period of being within 6 feet of an infected person).
NOTE:The county is currently suspending individual contact tracing, meaning that In-School Transmission will not be updated until such time as they can provide that information. The dashboard will be updated weekly on Fridays by 6 p.m.
