Highland Park ISD to ‘Deep-Clean’ Its Schools

Because why not?
|

Park Cities People reports:

Highland Park ISD just released a memo on behalf of superintendent Dawson Orr saying that the school district will commence a deep-cleaning of each campus this weekend and into next week. Custodial staff will also “step up” daily cleaning measures.

“We have checked the CDC guidelines for recommended cleaning products and the commercial grade anti-viral disinfectants currently in use on every campus exceed those recommendations,” Orr said in the memo.

In the spirit of rumor control, the district wished to emphasize that no member of the Bradfield Elementary community was on the Frontier Airlines flight with Ebola patient Amber Vinson — a parent and student did fly from Cleveland to Dallas on Oct. 13, but on a different plane.

You’ll remember that earlier there was some minor hysteria within the Bubble about the risks posed by County Judge Clay Jenkins, who came into contact with acquaintances of deceased Ebola patient Thomas Duncan and whose children attend the district’s Armstrong Elementary.
