School Building Cleaning, Disinfection, Sanitization, and Air Quality Precautions for COVID-19

All Southern Lehigh School District support service staff will clean, disinfect, and/or sanitize each classroom, restroom, hallway, and touch points per existing CDC Recommendations on Cleaning Public Facilities.

Ventilation:

All Southern Lehigh school buildings have been designed to meet ASHRAE standards for continuous air filtration and the introduction of filtered outside air.

• School building ventilation and filtration should continuously operate during occupied times.
• MERV 13 filters will be used during the pandemic. Filtration of no less than MERV8 will be used if MERV 13 filters are not compatible.
• Outdoor air circulation should exchange indoor air multiple times per day. At no time should it fall below ASHRAE levels for occupied buildings.
