Recommended actions for reopening school buildings
The School Facilities Board has compiled information to support district efforts to prepare school buildings for reopening including flushing protocols for drinking water sources and cleaning and sanitizing educational facilities for when students' return to the classroom. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is the primary source for this information.
eCivis Transition
As districts familiarize themselves with the eCivis system, we wanted to provide our training materials online for districts that would like to train other or new staff. Please contact your liaison with any questions.
