The purpose of the data included in this dashboard is to provide a transparent summary of active, reported, positive COVID-19 cases by school. An active case can be a student or staff member that has been participating in on-campus activities and has tested positive for COVID-19. Upon notification of a positive case, extensive procedures and protocols are immediately actioned by our district and campuses including exclusion from participation in any in-person/on-campus activity until the registered nurse verifies that the individual meets the return criteria set by state and local health authorities. Once an individual is cleared to return to campus they are no longer considered an active case and their case is removed from the dashboard count and added to the resolved cases count.

Please note, Gilbert Public Schools is following the Maricopa County Department of Health guidelines with regard to notifying employees and student families of positive COVID-19 cases.  

Parent Notifications of Positive Case 

Gilbert Public Schools continues to follow Maricopa County Health guidelines.  Following these guidelines, it is not current practice to notify the entire school of a positive case.  The process for parent/guardian notification is as follows:

1. Possible exposure letter sent to parents/guardians of students who have been in class with, or on a transportation route with, a reported positive case.

2. Following county investigation, parents/guardians of students required to quarantine receive a letter and phone call.

Please note, notifications regarding bus routes are sent out to all eligible riders on those routes.  Also, please note that it is possible, as a precaution, and in the best interests of our students and staff, the district may determine to temporarily close a specific campus program.  If this is the case all students and families affected by such a decision will be notified directly.

For full details of our enhanced health office protocols during this time please visit gilbertschools.net/healthservices.
