Cleaning and disinfecting

The district ensures adherence to hygiene and cleaning and disinfection requirements as advised by the CDC and DOH, including “Guidance for Cleaning and Disinfection of Public and Private Facilities for COVID-19,” and the “STOP THE SPREAD” poster, as applicable. Cleaning and disinfection logs are maintained that include the date, time, and scope of cleaning and disinfection. 

Examples of facility types where cleaning and disinfection frequency will be distinguished include 

● Bathrooms 

● Athletic training rooms, locker rooms 

● Health offices, isolation rooms 

● Administrative offices (main office, reception area) 

● Frequently touched surfaces in common areas (door handles, elevator buttons, copy machine keypads, etc.) 

● Breakrooms 

● Cafeterias/Kitchens 

● Computer labs 

● Science labs 

● Classrooms 

● Maintenance offices and work areas 

● Maintenance Barn 

● Buses, school vehicles 

● Libraries 

● Large meeting areas (auditoriums, gymnasiums, music rooms) 

● Playgrounds (cleaning only) 

● Outdoor seating areas (plastic or metal) 

Students, faculty, and staff have been trained on proper hand and respiratory hygiene, and such information has been provided to parents and/or legal guardians on ways to reinforce this at home. 

The district provides and maintain hand hygiene stations around the school, as follows: 

● For handwashing: soap, running warm water, and disposable paper towels. ● For hand sanitizing: an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol for areas where handwashing facilities may not be available or practical. 

● Accommodations for students who cannot use hand sanitizer will be made.


Regular cleaning and disinfection of the facilities regularly occurs including more frequent cleaning and disinfection for high-risk and frequently touched surfaces. This will include desks and cafeteria tables, which should be cleaned and disinfected between each individual’s use. Cleaning and disinfection will be rigorous and ongoing and will occur at least daily, or more frequently as needed. 

The district will ensure regular cleaning and disinfection of restrooms. Restrooms should be cleaned and disinfected more often depending on frequency of use.
