In the third week of classes, Alachua County Public School District has 559 students and faculty in quarantine, according to the school district’s COVID-19 dashboard.
Under protocol, those in quarantine reflect COVID-19 positive cases, people who have had significant contact with someone who has COVID-19, and in the case of sports teams, if an athlete or coach tests positive, the entire team must go into quarantine. ACPS’s total enrollment is 26,468 students as of Jan. 14.
