COVID-19 CASE DASHBOARD
All confirmed COVID-19 incidents related to Vista Unified school sites and offices will be reported on this Dashboard starting on September 18, 2020. Vista Unified is not including community-related cases for those individuals who have not come onto campus within close contact* of other students and staff. Vista Unified is including all positive confirmed cases for individuals who have been on campus within close contact* of others in Vista Unified school supervised instruction or activities. Once the District learns of an individual who has tested positive at a school site or office, these steps will be followed:
- Consult with Local Health Officers
- Clean and treat any affected areas
- Contact trace within Vista Unified to determine close contacts*
- Immediately notify anyone within Vista Unified determined to have had close contact* and advise of any required self-quarantine
- Notify anyone who may have been in proximity, such as in the classroom, school, or office
- Isolate individuals if present and advise of any required self-quarantine
- Follow any additional recommendations from the San Diego County Public Department of Public Health
*Close Contact is defined as any individual who was within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes starting from 2 days before illness onset (or, for asymptomatic patients, 2 days prior to positive specimen collection) until the time the patient is isolated.

Below is a list of all confirmed COVID-19 incidents related to Vista Unified schools and offices. The Dashboard will be updated periodically, based on notification of confirmed cases. Case counts represent VUSD's official notification date, not COVID-19 testing date or illness onset date. If not viewable on your mobile device, please view the table here.
*Important Note: Vista Unified does not wait to notify close contacts upon initial report of a positive case. However, Vista Unified will wait for official confirmation from the public health department before listing the case on this dashboard. This could result in a delay of cases appearing on this dashboard or a discrepancy between the number of notifications received and actual number of confirmed cases (when the case is not confirmed positive by public health).
*Vista Classic resumed in-person instruction on Tuesday, October 20th.
COVID-19 SCHOOL PIVOT DASHBOARD
Pursuant to Board Policy established by our Governing Board at a special meeting held on October 27, 2020, the Vista Classic in-person program at the eight comprehensive middle schools and high schools will pivot to an all virtual environment under two circumstances.
(1) A school will stop in-person operations and pivot to virtual learning if the school has two or more members of the Vista Classic, on-campus community whose positive COVID-19 test leads to the quarantining of one or more cohorts within a fourteen-day period.
(2) A school will stop in-person operations and pivot to virtual learning if three or more secondary schools have a member of their Vista Classic school community whose positive test results for COVID-19 leads to the quarantining of one or more cohorts simultaneously within a single fourteen-day period. If a secondary school has already transitioned to distance learning for all students, that school will not be counted as one of the three secondary schools.
Below is a table describing the current status of Vista Classic, in-person learning at each of the eight schools. If not viewable on your mobile device, please view the table here.
