New Data from NCES: U.S. Outlying Area Public Schools’ Experiences with COVID-19: November 2022
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) releases today findings from the November School Pulse Panel survey from a universe collection of public schools in four U.S. Outlying Areas – American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These SPP data examine teacher trainings, student discipline, school safety, security personnel, pandemic preparedness, learning mode offerings, and quarantine prevalence, as reported by school staff in 93 public schools in these four U.S. Outlying Areas (OAs). Ninety-two percent of OA public schools indicated they had a written plan in place to handle a pandemic disease scenario, according to data released today by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the statistical center within the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Additionally, OA public schools commonly reported having a written plan in place for natural disasters (97 percent), bomb threats or incidents (85 percent), and suicide threats or incidents (84 percent).
Key Findings:
- During November 2022, 100 percent of OA public schools offered in-person learning, 22 percent offered full-time remote learning, and 15 percent offered hybrid learning.
- In November 2022, 21 percent of OA public schools reported having to quarantine students and 16 percent reported having to quarantine staff members.
- Ninety-two percent of OA public schools indicated they had a written plan in place to deal with a pandemic disease scenario.
- During the 2022-23 school year, OA public schools have a variety of written plans in place that detail procedures to follow for emergency scenarios. These include natural disasters (97 percent), bomb threats or incidents (85 percent), and suicide threats or incidents (84 percent).
