Like every school district, the Mehlville School District has been challenged how to safely educate its students during the COVID-19 pandemic, including handling substitute teacher shortages and increasing sanitization around the district’s facilities.
At the Dec. 17 Board of Education meeting prior to the start of winter break, Superintendent Chris Gaines and other administrators provided updates to the board about mitigating the spread of the virus in schools, as well as continued challenges from the pandemic.
Ionization systems installed in district facilities
In September, the board, on the recommendation of Gaines, approved $200,000 to buy and install ionization systems on HVAC units in the district’s facilities to improve air quality. Installations were completed during winter recess, before in-person expansion.
