This report provides an overview and assessment of the School Dismissal Monitoring System (SDMS) that was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Department of Education (ED) to monitor influenza-like illness (ILI)-related school dismissals during the 2009-2010 school year in the United States.
SDMS was developed with considerable consultation with CDC's and ED's partners. Further, each state appointed a single school dismissal monitoring contact, even if that state also had its own school-dismissal monitoring system in place. The SDMS received data from three sources: (1) direct reports submitted through CDC's Web site, (2) state monitoring systems, and (3) media scans and online searches. All cases identified through any of the three data sources were verified.
Between August 3, 2009, and December 18, 2009, a total of 812 dismissal events (ie, a single school dismissal or dismissal of all schools in a district) were reported in the United States. These dismissal events had an impact on 1947 schools, approximately 623 616 students, and 40 521 teachers.
The SDMS yielded real-time, national summary data that were used widely throughout the US government for situational awareness to assess the impact of CDC guidance and community mitigation efforts and to inform the development of guidance, resources, and tools for schools.
本报告概述并评估了疾病预防控制中心（CDC）和美国教育部（ED）开发的学校停课监测系统（SDMS），以监测美国 2009-2010 学年期间与流感样疾病（ILI）相关的学校停课情况。
SDMS 的开发得到了 CDC 和 ED 合作伙伴的广泛咨询。此外，每个州都指定了一名学校停课监测联系人，即使该州已经有自己的学校停课监测系统。SDMS 从三个来源接收数据：（1）通过 CDC 网站直接报告，（2）州监测系统，以及（3）媒体扫描和在线搜索。所有通过这三个数据源之一识别的病例均经过核实。
2009 年 8 月 3 日至 2009 年 12 月 18 日，美国共报告了 812 起停课事件（即单个学校停课或整个地区所有学校停课）。这些停课事件影响了 1947 所学校，约 623616 名学生和 40521 名教师。
SDMS 提供了实时的全国汇总数据，在美国政府内部广泛用于了解情况，以评估 CDC 指导意见和社区缓解措施的影响，并为学校提供指导、资源和工具的开发提供信息。
