Multiple questions remain regarding the issue of transportation for students, as students, faculty, and families look forward to the new school year.
While masking will be a requirement for everyone on a school bus, some things like hand sanitizer will not be required — or even allowed.
New York State guidance points out that hand sanitizer will not be allowed due to its combustible composition and potential liability.
Language in the state mandate reads: “School bus drivers, monitors and attendants must not carry personal bottles of hand sanitizer with them on school buses,”
There will be self-screenings, and students will not be allowed to sit next to each other directly unless a sneeze guard is installed – or the students are coming from the same home.
Buses will also have to be thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis.
It’s unclear how districts will make this happen since there will likely need to be more buses in each district’s fleet.
Waiting for the inevitable drinking hand sanitizer challenge....
The risk of contracting COVID-19 from a kid, however small, is still higher than a bottle of hand sanitizer spontaneously bursting into flames.
New York's public education system has failed completely. (But we already knew that.)
First New York has a coordinated policy of killing nursing home residents.
Now they want to ban hand sanitizers?
Why not just send out Storm Troopers with vials of CV19 to infect the people with?
When was the last time a bottle of hand sanitizer self combusted?
Same people who thought it was a good idea to send the infected to nursing homes? These are the people I want to listen to. There is no wonder why the government hasn’t fixed anything.
“When was the last time a bottle of hand sanitizer self combusted?”
There was that one picture on the internet, so it must be true.
They are probably worried the kids might start drinking the hand sanitizer to escape this insanity.
If they’ll drink it, not having it with them on the bus won’t stop them. Secondly, there’s a list of hand sanitizers that are dangerous even if used on hands. Not sure if they’re sold in the US what with the FDA and all. Some people make their own using rubbing alcohol and aloe vera gel.
If you need to find out something that’s true, of course you check it out on the interne; they wouldn’t lie, would they?
What do they need school buses for if the schools are closed?
The solution is to require teachers to do their zoom classes from the school property. They should have to report 30 minutes before the normal school day and not leave until 30 minutes after the normal school day. If they do not show up, they do not get paid. They could use the school’s resources for their classes. They would then have to work through all the child care issues like other people are doing and the schools would open immediately.
“Waiting for the inevitable drinking hand sanitizer challenge....”
I’ve read cases of kids using basic chemistry gear to distill hand sanitizer and drink the ethanol alcohol.
Can’t imagine how fine that tastes.
In MY rural neck of the woods, we have only about 60 or 70% internet connectability
Bogus photo description. The bottle of sanitizer acted as a magnifier lens and set the door armrest on fire.
Three buddies walk on the bus and get a squirt of hand sanitizer, go to back of bus, smear it on some kid’s hair and light him up.
They could use something else that’s not been banned. Then too, when has this ever happened before the ban? Some mouth washes that contain alcohol are flammable. Are those banned?
Kids can’t sit next to each other unless a sneeze guard is in place? So they just want the school to retrofit a bunch of jury rigged plastic crap in the interior of a school bus without considering the crash safety aspect of it? Result: dangerous motor vehicles transporting children.
Alternatively, they want the buses to run at half capacity. If you halve the capacity of the bus, where do the schools get all the extra buses and bus drivers required?
The problem is, Herr Cuomo never considers the consequences of his decrees.
