Education Matters: DCPS is either deceptive or incompetent about COVID numbers and either is unacceptable.

DCPS is either deceptive or incompetent about COVID numbers and either is unacceptable.


There have been 7236 cases of pediatric COVID in Duval; of that, only 519 have made DCPS's dashboard. (see the links below). Absolutely nothing DCPS says can be taken seriously. Either their deception or incompetence is unacceptable.

Now I want to be fair the COVID Dashboard didn't even exist until August, so cases from April to them wouldn't make the dashboard. Likewise, the board doesn't include charter, homeschool, or just not in school kids. That being said, DCPS would have us believe that from August to today, as the pandemic has raged out of control, it's only affected, 519 students? I call bull sh*t.

Teachers have told me all year long that they know students who have had it, but they don't hear it from the school or see it on the dashboard. They hear it from the kids or families.

This is reckless and deceptive, and if the district doesn't know it, then they should.
