QA
What protective cleaning measures will be implemented?
Deep-cleaning and disinfecting protocols for all St. Martin’s facilities and equipment will be guided by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for schools. The SMES facilities management personnel will oversee daily cleaning and will be supplemented by an Atlanta-based biological decontamination team using a Clorox Pro T-360 system. The school is investing in an additional system to supplement the rigorous cleaning schedule already in place. The SMES facilities management team will also undergo training by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (see link on p. 10) for industry accreditation.
Will social distancing be practiced?
Until a reliable COVID-19 vaccine is available, St. Martin’s will implement a variety of social distancing guidelines using CDC recommendations. This may mean smaller class sizes, groups of student cohorts that remain together throughout the day, augmented lunch procedures, use of non-classroom space for classes, and other safety solutions.
What will the protocols look like for temperature taking, hand washing and/or mask wearing?
St. Martin’s will closely monitor CDC guidelines for schools along with Georgia Department of Health and other agencies in order to formalize health and safety protocols including, but not limited to, arrival procedures (temperature), hand washing, mask wearing, and compliance with test and trace protocols. A personal management body temperature kiosk will be installed at each school entrance to capture the temperature of each person attempting to enter the SMES campus.
