The report from the Florida Department of Health includes cases reported at private schools.
In January, the Volusia County school district reported about 500 cases of COVID-19 in public schools and Flagler reported about 100.
Volusia County school officials raised concerns about the number of cases after the holidays, and indicated that the current precautions — including masks — will remain in effect. Teachers and staff in the district who are over age 65 have been eligible for vaccinations through a partnership with the district and county.
The state's numbers include a breakdown of how many cases are in each school — information the districts have been unwilling to provide. Neither agency is providing information about how many students or staff members are in quarantine.
