Technical difficulties have led to confusion this week among northern Indiana educators looking to upload data and inform families about coronavirus cases through the state’s COVID-19 dashboard.
The dashboard, updated weekly on Mondays, shows the number of new and total cases of COVID-19 among students, teachers and staff as reported to the state.
School leaders say they have run into difficulties uploading data into a state portal used to supply information to the public-facing dashboard.
Representatives from South Bend, Mishawaka and Penn-Harris-Madison schools say they've experienced challenges ranging from trouble logging into the state's portal to submitted data not appearing on the public-facing dashboard.

Some say their schools have been mislabeled publicly as not reporting cases this school year when they have attempted as recently as last week to upload data. Others say they have experienced technical difficulties dating back to last school year.
