• The school bus is cleaned/ disinfected once a day in accordance with the guidance provided.

• The school bus is not equipped with hand sanitizer due to its combustible composition.

• Transportation staff (drivers, monitors, attendants, mechanics and cleaners) are trained and provided periodic refreshers on the proper use of personal protective equipment and the signs and symptoms of COVID-19.

• Late buses will be offered for students.

Students on the Bus

• Siblings or children who reside in the same household must sit together.

• All parents/guardians are required to ensure their child/children are not experiencing any signs and symptoms of COVID-19.
