Cleaning logs will be maintained that include the date, time, and scope of cleaning on disinfection in a building or area.
All classrooms will be provided with spray bottles of EPA-approved disinfectant or diluted bleach solution, disinfecting wipes, paper towels, face shields and gloves in order to address new cleaning protocols.
Each building custodial team and administrator will tour their building and identify areas of frequent use throughout the building. A map will be created and kept secure in the head custodian room and office to ensure compliance when custodial substitutes are in the building.
Custodial staff will walk the building wiping all high frequency usage areas through out the day including bathrooms, doors handles and student desks when classrooms are empty. Staff will note the time and date and initials on a chart that is kept daily.
A training on cleaning materials and protocols will be provided to the staff through a virtual meeting the first week of school. This training will show the use of PPE when cleaning, protocols for the classroom and storage of cleaning materials.
