COVID-19 Message

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are altering many of our practices to  try and reduce the risk of viral spread.

Sanitization Process

• School Buses will be sanitized between and after each bus route
• Seats will be sprayed with a disinfectant cleaner (HOCl)
  
• Handrails will be sprayed and wiped down with the same disinfectant cleaner
