Here are the schools and universities with confirmed coronavirus cases

Sioux Falls Argus Leader

The exact scope of how the coronavirus is spreading between South Dakota schools and campuses is unclear because the state health department and school districts are choosing to release only limited information to the broader community.

But we're relying on news tips from readers to help confirm cases within schools and colleges statewide.

Submit tips using this form.

State health officials post the number of cases among students and staff on the state's COVID-19 website each Monday for the week prior, but they won't be releasing the names of the schools where those cases occur unless a larger exposure event happens, state epidemiologist Josh Clayton has said.

And school districts are often either citing directives and communications with state departments and privacy law concerns that don't protect them from releasing COVID-19 data about campuses as reasons not to do so.

We're doing what we can to gather that information for you to help show and analyze trends over time.

Here's a look at what we know so far by area:
