Hello Webinar Attendees and Registrants, The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would like to thank you for your interest in our webinar on Cleaning Schools to Control for Viruses and Bacteria: Maintaining Healthy Indoor Learning Environments. We had a record turn out! We appreciated your patience and understanding as we navigated technological challenges for this webinar. Our presenters shared some of their latest research and insights on the spread of viruses and bacteria in schools, and emphasized best practices for cleaning and disinfecting classrooms and school facilities. This webinar was not recorded and we will not be offering a certificate for participant attendance. However, we will be sending out more information throughout the summer in response to some of the questions we received from participants. We are also looking into hosting another webinar on cleaning and maintenance with our expert speakers later this summer. Additionally, we will continue to provide technical assistance on maintaining healthy indoor learning environments through our ongoing Knowledge to Action Professional Training Webinar Series. In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about IAQ, cleaning, and preventive maintenance, EPA has many resources available to support your work. Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools
