Facilities, Custodial, Transportation & Sanitation

All sites should develop a surface sanitization schedule. Identify high touch surfaces and set a schedule for sanitization. This is a time where we can engage all staff in helping to clean and disinfect common areas, not just the custodial staff.

PPE, set protocols to ensure stock and replenishment at our sites. This includes disinfectant, sanitation wipes, hand sanitizer, soap and paper towels.  Ideally having a hand sanitizing station in every classroom (at any entrance) and office space.

Playground and other shared equipment will need to be sanitized before/ after use, or institute a usage schedule to ensure cohorts are not mixing.

Areas and materials to clean:

Cleaning is frequent, especially in common spaces.

Schools are encouraged to wipe down high-touch areas, such as doorknobs and desks, every 2 hours.

Students wipe their own desks. Windows and doors are left open as much as possible to maintain ventilation.

Toilets and sinks are expected to be cleaned 2–4 times a day, and tablets and computers must be wiped after each use.

Shared materials:

Shared materials are discouraged, but when used they must be cleaned before being used by other groups of students.

Transportation:

There may be difficulty in transporting small groups of students.  This will require strategic planning.
