Not only does the program create a sense of community and ease the burden on facility managers, but a clean and healthy learning environment creates opportunities for students in the classroom as well.
1. Proper hygiene helps promote student health
Regular cleaning and maintenance help minimize the spread of germs, bacteria, and allergens. When kids are healthy, they perform their best.
2. Improved academic performance
Research has unequivocally shown a direct link between the condition of school facilities and student performance, with improved test scores when learning spaces are improved.1 A clean and organized learning environment promotes better concentration and focus among students. With less distraction, students are more likely to absorb information and perform well academically.2
3. Positive community image
A positive community image can lead to increased support, resources, and collaboration, ultimately benefiting the school and its students. A school district's performance can also impact home values and ultimately enrollment rates.
4. Higher attendance rates
When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. Creating a hygienic learning environment not only helps minimize absenteeism by reducing illness causing germs, but it can also impact a school district's budget. When students perform well that means the district is likely getting attendance funding.
