Back to School 2021

Back to School 2021

Going back to school is very different this year. On the heels of COVID-19 and on the cusp of variants, schools are deciding the best ways to keep children safe. In some cases this means masks in the classroom. In other cases it means a continuation of virtual learning. In all cases, it means more frequent cleaning and disinfection.

School transportation departments are impacted and one of the most effective strategies for slowing the spread of ANY illness is adding a consistent cleaning and disinfection protocol for your school bus fleet.

School Training Solutions is proud to provide a Cleaning & Disinfecting a School Bus infographic for FREE download.

We can also help add an online component to your employee training curriculum. Let us know how we can help you, your department, or your organization.

Stay Safe!

STS Highlights July 2021

STS Highlights: July 2021

As you may expect, July is a time to focus on freedom, independence, and celebrations of country and culture. It’s the time of year that I personally sit down and re-read three very important documents in history. I’ve linked to the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence below if you want to add it to your reading list for the month.

The goal with these monthly resources is always to help elevate your career, department, or organization. Please SHARE this post with anyone who could benefit from the content. As always, we take pride in helping you meet your training requirements and goals.

Sincerely,
Patrick
