SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – The Seminole County School District purchased 135 battery-powered chemical misting sprayers to disinfect all classrooms every night when school starts in less than three weeks.One mister each will go to every elementary school and two misters each will go to every middle and high school.On Tuesday, Seminole County Schools Director of Facilities Services Kim Dove showed head custodians how to use the misters.They will spray every classroom “touchpoint” - heavily-used surfaces such as desks, chairs, countertops, door handles, and faucets - and allow the mist to evaporate.
School buses will also be misted nightly.Additional custodians will be hired, Dove said, to create double shifts and provide as much as six.
