U.S. School Health & Illness Monitoring Dashboard

Live CDC flu activity, weather conditions, and air quality trends impacting K–12 schools across the United States.

This dashboard visualizes CDC flu activity, weather conditions, and air quality indicators affecting K–12 schools across the United States.

Informational only. This tool does not predict school closures and does not provide medical advice.


What This School Health Dashboard Shows

1. CDC Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Activity by State

This dashboard visualizes data from the CDC Influenza-Like Illness Surveillance Network (ILINet), showing the percentage of outpatient visits related to flu-like symptoms across U.S. states.

School districts in states such as Texas, California, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, and North Carolina often monitor statewide flu trends during peak respiratory season.

2. Local Weather Conditions

Seasonal weather patterns can influence attendance and respiratory virus circulation. Temperature shifts and winter conditions may impact school operations across northern and southern regions differently.

3. Air Quality Index (AQI)

Air quality conditions may affect outdoor activities and students with asthma or respiratory sensitivities. Monitoring AQI provides additional environmental context for schools nationwide.

School Health Monitoring by State

This dashboard supports situational awareness for public and private K–12 schools across all 50 U.S. states, including:

  • California School Health Monitoring
  • Texas Flu Activity for Schools
  • Florida School Illness Trends
  • New York State Flu Levels for Districts
  • Illinois School Health Indicators
  • Pennsylvania School Absenteeism Trends
  • Ohio K–12 Illness Monitoring

Local school closure decisions remain district-specific and are typically guided by internal absenteeism rates and local health department recommendations.

How U.S. Schools Monitor Illness Trends

School districts across the United States typically review multiple data sources before making operational decisions, including:

  • Student absenteeism data
  • Staff availability
  • School nurse office visits
  • County and state health department advisories
  • CDC influenza surveillance reports
  • Environmental conditions such as weather and air quality

Community flu activity levels do not automatically result in school closures. Decisions are based on district-level operational impact.
