Disinfectant wipes should not be used by children. Sani-wipes (provided by WCPSS) or similar or baby wipes would be appropriate for children to use. Disinfectant wipes should be stored in locked cabinet and only used by teachers and, per directions, teachers should wash their hands after using.

General Comments
No evidence of mold growth in the school or the trailers. According to the custodial staff and teachers interviewed, various ceiling tiles in every classroom in the school need to be changed after heavy rains but Rm 310 seems to be the worst requiring ceiling tile changes after any amount of rain. Recommend having the roof checked for leaks and/or defects. The HVAC is scheduled to be replaced in August. Recommend cleaning the duct work during that time.
