Necessity is the mother of invention. According to an article in NPR, a teacher in Kansas, Alisha Morris, was unable to find data about COVID-19 cases in U.S. schools, so she started collecting data from local news reports and aggregated her findings in a spreadsheet. She later shared her data with colleagues and her district board of education. One thing led to another, and she eventually handed over her project to the National Education Association where Morris and other volunteers are crowdsourcing data.
Data are also presented in Tableau in both map and tabular format.
Kudos to Alisha Morris and all the volunteers—I hope this effort helps inform local policy and decision-making.
