Emily Oster created a national data collection dashboard to track confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases in K-12 schools. This initiative is motivated by the need for better data on virus spread and development throughout schools. School leaders are still navigating through uncertainty as the school year has begun - whether in-person or online. The goal of the effort is to provide educational leaders and policy-makers with information on how schools are reopening, and what factors contribute to safe reopening. The initiative also allows schools to analyze the data once collected.
