Why advanced disinfection is important in Education.

Illness spread quickly throughout schools and daycare centers causing students and staff to be absent multiple times throughout year. The effects of absenteeism are felt throughout the school continuum with the most critical impacts being on student learning and progress, as well as staffing needs and shortages. Research consistently shows a strong, statistically significant negative correlation between student absenteeism and test scores, meaning more missed days lead to lower achievement, impacting math, reading, and overall grades, with even a few absences showing negative effects.

Key Research Findings

• Each additional day of absence is linked to lower grades and test scores, with some studies finding a significant drop in proficiency after just a few days.

• High rates of absenteeism in a classroom negatively affect the performance of all students, regardless of their own attendance, impacting their test scores and executive function.

Extra support for hardworking custodial teams is key

Disinfecting with traditional methods is time-consuming, especially in a school setting. When custodial teams are stretched thin, Pro-Sanitize can support their efforts to maximize safety and cleanliness for staff and students.

Our aerosolized hydrogen peroxide fogging method disperses an EPA registered disinfectant across all surfaces including hard-to-reach and often-missed spots such as underneath desks, door handles, backs of chairs, etc. It rapidly evaporates into water and oxygen, leaving no residue, so it’s not harmful to people or technology. Additionally, it deodorizes organic odors at the source, a big plus for shared spaces in a school setting. Designed to enhance, not replace traditional cleaning methods.
