COVID-19 Dashboard and Mitigation Plan

  • Lakeville Area Schools has updated its Safe Return to Learning Plan and will be using the dashboard and mitigation plan below for the 2021-22 school year. Lakeville Area Schools will be offering full-time in-person learning for all students.

Our Safe Return to Learning Plan includes academic learning support to help students recover from the past year of interrupted learning, as well as health and safety measures to help mitigate COVID-19. 

    As we continue to monitor State and Federal guidance, this plan is subject to change based upon any future guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). 

    We are committed to providing world-class learning for every student in a safe and healthy environment. The District and its schools will continue to provide our community with information and updates for 2021-22 school year.

  • Current COVID-19 Cases and Mitigation Level as of Jan. 20

    Dakota County 14-day case rate per 10,000 residents is 263.9. Dakota County vaccination rate is 76.5%

    To remain consistent with the learning model thresholds used throughout the 2020-21 school year, Lakeville Area Schools is continuing to report 14-day per 10,000 case rates. Each Friday, Lakeville Area Schools reviews data from the Minnesota Department of Health, as reported on this dashboard created by Julian Wolfson, Ph.D., a professor and researcher in the Division of Biostatistics at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Wolfson's dashboard has been updated to report 14-day case rate data per 10,0000, which the District will use to determine mitigation level moving forward. Information about how the data on Dr. Wolfson’s dashboard is calculated can be found on this Frequently Asked Questions document.

    Vaccine data is reported on this dashboard created by the MN Department of Health.

    What this means for Face Coverings

    Face covering requirements based on the latest case rates will remain in place until case rates start greatly improving and fall below the 'high' threshold level.

    Face coverings are required indoors for all students age 2 through grade 12 regardless of vaccination status. Face coverings are required indoors for all District staff and visitors regardless of vaccination status.

     

  • COVID-19 Mitigation Plan by Transmission Level

    The District will use county-level COVID-19 transmission level (14-day case rate per 10,000 in Dakota County) to determine mitigation strategies that will be implemented in our buildings and on district transportation, as indicated in the table below. This data corresponds to the thresholds the MDH and MDE used last school year to make decisions on learning models and protocols. The District will review District, City, and County data weekly on Thursdays and will update its dashboard on Fridays. Any changes in protocols will be implemented the following Monday. In the event of an outbreak, the District may also shift classrooms or schools into higher levels of mitigation response including shutdown.
