Preparing Schools to Re-Open

8/7/2020 (Permalink)

As of August 8th, every school in New York has met the criteria for re-opening this fall. Governor Andrew Cuomo has given the word that while schools may re-open, they must meet specific plans before re-opening and belong to a region where positive test rates are below 5%. There is a high level of confidence in the state capitol with Cuomo sharing that New York is “in the best situation in the country right now. If anybody can open schools, we can open schools.” Districts are expected to submit a plan for how classes will work and what their re-opening process will look like in order to be approved. 

With September only three weeks away, it is imperative that schools ensure clean classrooms for their students and teachers to return to. In the wake of Coronavirus, the standards of what it means to be clean have taken on new meaning. Many are hesitant about going back into the classroom. That is where our Certified program comes in. Here at SERVPRO of Southern Staten Island, we have come out with a comprehensive cleaning program that combines over 50 years of cleaning experience with our high standards and protocols. SERVPRO has created an intense cleaning program that uses practices suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the professional products that are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are shown to provide a thorough clean.

Here at SERVPRO of Southern Staten Island, we are passionate about helping our community. We want to provide our talented and hardworking school staff with clean classrooms. That the only thing that children should worry about is doing well. Not if they will feel unwell if they come through school doors. As educators and administrators navigate what re-opening will look like we are here to carry out the professional cleaning that is necessary for schools to start.
