Goose Creek CISD remains committed to maintaining a safe, healthy, and clean environment for all students, staff, and community members. To support this commitment, the district will continue to implement comprehensive cleaning and sanitization procedures across all campuses and facilities throughout the year.
The district will ensure that custodial staff, resources, and supplies are properly prepared to meet all facility needs. This includes assigning adequate personnel, providing ongoing training, and maintaining appropriate inventories of cleaning materials and equipment.
Custodial Cleaning and Sanitation Procedures
- Custodial staff are required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) while performing duties, practice proper hand hygiene following glove removal, and disinfect all frequently touched surfaces, including office phones, keyboards, computer mice, desks, and counters.
- High-touch surfaces—such as tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, faucets, and restrooms—will be cleaned and disinfected routinely throughout the day and again during evening cleaning operations.
- Custodial personnel will regularly check and replenish paper towels, hand soap, and hand sanitizer dispensers as part of daily cleaning schedules.
- Waxed floors will receive an antimicrobial finish as part of the final coating process to help prevent bacterial growth and maintain surface protection.
- All district facilities will undergo periodic high dusting to remove dust, dirt, and bacteria from hard-to-reach areas and maintain overall air quality.
- A “Clean Desk” policy will be enforced to ensure that workspaces are cleared daily, allowing for effective surface cleaning and disinfection.
- Daytime custodial staff will be scheduled to provide ongoing support during breakfast and lunch periods, including classroom and cafeteria cleaning and trash removal.
- Deep cleaning will be conducted on a scheduled basis, with a focus on classrooms, common areas, and high-traffic locations to promote a consistently safe and hygienic environment for all occupants.
