Colorado Springs School Illness Watch

Snapshot as of August 31, 2026

Summary

No change since last check All sources reverified today

No material change found today. All three sources were directly reverified via browser this run. The CDPHE statewide dashboard is unchanged from last check (Last Update still 8/26/2026; overall activity still Very Low). El Paso County's Communicable Disease Data Dashboard is unchanged (main data still last updated 8/12/2026). The "What's Going Around" bulletin archive remains discontinued (last issue Sept. 20, 2025, no new post). CDPHE refreshes weekly on Wednesdays (next due 9/2) and the El Paso County dashboard updates the second Wednesday of each month (next due 9/9), so no new figures were expected today. Nothing here suggests elevated near-term exposure risk.
