School districts throughout the state are pausing in-person instruction because of cases of coronavirus among staff and students.

In some cases, the switch to all-remote classes is temporary, but many districts have opted to go remote through January. And some districts have only had to send home students from one school, where the cases of COVID-19 were found, while students at other schools in that district continued in-person learning.

The state does not maintain a public list of the schools or districts that have had to close down, but on Sept. 30 it launched a dashboard that identifies counties, number of schools and cases that were transmitted in school buildings or through school activities. Currently, 88 schools have had a total of 388 cases.
