CPS is committed to addressing barriers to student health and wellness and providing education, programs, and activities that help improve the quality of life for students attending our schools. We also strive to decrease health disparities within the district through the coordination of school health programs and student health services.
Important Update
After June 30, 2024 CPS will no longer be updating the COVID-19 Data Dashboard due to recent changes to COVID-19 reporting requirements in Illinois. The dashboard accessible below along with all prior data will be removed from this website on July 8, 2024.
You can still access data about COVID-19 activity in Chicago through CDPH's Respiratory Virus Surveillance reports and on the City's Chicago Data Portal.
