A board-approved restoration contractor cleaned/disinfected rooms 802, 804, 805, 808, and 809 on September 10, 2021. Additionally, portable dehumidification units were delivered to each of the classrooms served by RTU-8 through RTU-11. The units will remain until weather permitting (October).
On September 14, 2021, the remaining classrooms served by RTU-8 through RTU-11 were cleaned/disinfected by a board-approved restoration contractor as a precaution.
During the summer (not occupied by significant students/staff), the Office of the Environment recommends these units be operated similar to "pre-pandemic" summer operations (outside air dampers closed, 2-hour afternoon run-time, etc.) unless requested by a custodian (no single unit should run for more than one consecutive week).
During occupied times (cooling-season), if Building Maintenance is to operate these units for additional run-times next spring/summer, portable dehumidification units should be provided to each classroom in the zones associated with RTU-8 through 11.
If dehumidifiers cannot be provided, the units should not be operated for additional run-times. Note, this recommendation recognizes that portable air purifiers have been added to HCPSS classrooms as an additional COVID-19 mitigation strategy.
