In its fourth week of classes, Alachua County Public School District has 702 students and faculty in quarantine, according to the school district’s COVID-19 dashboard.
Under protocol, those in quarantine reflect positive cases, people who have had significant contact with someone who is positive, 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 26,642 students as of Jan. 26.
