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.
