I’m not sure what good it does to shut down schools and “disinfect” them.
Once the doors are re-opened and all the people return to the building, by the end of the 1st day all the regular germs, viruses and bacteria are back again.

Amongst all the other professions I don't play on TV, I'm also
not an epidemiologist or public health advisor.
Closing all 23 schools on a school day sounds like a number of
factors coming together:
1. The school district's lawyers said "Do it or run the risk of
a potential lawsuit...or class-action lawsuit if more than one
child gets MRSA. Or their parents are traumatized by the POSSIBILITY
of a bogey-man in their kids' school."
2. Probably an extra day off for unionized teachers (and no
need to "make up" because it's an "emergency")
But...if what happens in Mid-Missouri during an unscheduled
half-day off due to a September heat-wave (because not all
schools have A/C is any indicator...
a lot of parents will be ticked when they need to find out
"who the h-ll is taking care of our kids if the school is closed?"
