Since NHCS launched its reporting dashboard — which is where Port City Daily obtains data for its weekly updates — the school system has been met with skepticism about the accuracy of its reporting. Administrators said the school system only posts cases that are self-reported by parents to the schools, which means some positive tests are unreported.
