The state Department of Health Services has said it finds “no public health value in releasing the names of the school districts with active cases of COVID-19.” Meanwhile, other states across the country are releasing this exact same data in the interest of public health.
In a recent column for the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Coalition, journalist and council member Jonathan Anderson urges state health officials to make the names of all schools with COVID-19 cases public. The column is available for publication by WNA members.
