COVID-19 IMPACT: School District Status Updates for Fall 2020
COVID-19 IMPACT: School District Status Updates for Fall 2020
In partnership with Esri, the global market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), we’ve created the below information to keep you informed of the rapid changes and impact of COVID-19 on school reopening plans and operations at the district level.
Check back often. This valuable resource is tracking school district reopening dates, learning models, sports participation, distance learning investments, and more, throughout the fall. Updates are made daily and new, timely insights (mask utilization, capacity, occupancy, etc.) will be added as we procure the data. Login and download the most updated version anytime, for free.

MCH is staying on top of emerging changes in the K12 community during this unprecedented time.
As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, our tactics to monitor and track its impact follow suit. Initially, policies surrounding COVID-19 were made at the state level and we configured our data compilation process based on that standard. More recently, however, the increase in local policy making surrounding COVID-19 has made it necessary to restructure our compilation process to maintain the high-quality data you need and expect.
Recently we invested significant resources into a strategy to continuously compile and refresh the below K12 public school data at the district level. We are offering this valuable resource as a free service to help you stay informed of the rapid changes to school district reopening plans and operations as the COVID-19 virus continues to impact our nation.
