Press release from the Capistrano Unified School District:

October 28, 2020

Dear CUSD Families,

We are pleased to share our Capistrano Unified Positive COVID-19 Case Dashboard with you. The purpose of the dashboard is to provide access to information regarding positive COVID-19 cases in our District.

Before you access the dashboard, please be aware of the following information:

• If you or your student is a close contact, you will be notified. The Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) will work with the District to notify you through the school and/or department to quarantine.
• The On Campus Enrollment number represents all students and staff who are on the school campus during regular school operating hours. This number includes students in Programs A (full day on campus) and B (half day on campus) for elementary and Program A (hybrid) for secondary. This number does not include students who attend school online only or who visit campus for athletics and visual and performing arts (VAPA). Enrollment is not combined for two schools that share the same street address.
• The total current confirmed cases includes both students and staff who are verified as positive cases.
• Positive cases will appear on the Dashboard for 14 days from the date they are reported and then will be removed after the 14th day. A positive case will be reported on the Dashboard after the COVID-19 District team has verified the positive case.
• All cases are confidential. Information regarding individuals with COVID-19 symptoms, close contacts with someone who is COVID-19 positive, or individuals who have tested positive for the coronavirus, is sensitive, confidential information. Names will not be released.

You can access the dashboard here or at any time on the homepage of our website.

Thank you,

Ryan Burris
Chief Communications Officer
