News, washington.

Vigo county schools says it's still committed to following health... and safety guidelines... news 10's jordan kudisch walks us through their cleaning process.... and how it's keeping students..

And staff..

Healthy.

This *spray noise* is one of the tools staff are using..

To keep covid-19 at bay.

Several cleaning products, multiple hand sanitizer stations, and masks.

They're all in use during school hours to avoid an outbreak.

"two different cleaners we've purchased, especially for this year.

Especially to fight coronavirus.

They're both rated to kill coronavirus."

Both are made up of a hydrogen proxide base.

One will be used during the day.

The other..

After hours.

Together, these products are providing a reassurance for both staff and students.

"they're really glad i think that we have these cleaning products for them to be able to use as well as our custodial staff."

School leaders understand the covid-19 virus is hard to control.

"we know at some point in the school year, someone will come into this building positive for covid.

It's going to happen, it could happen yet this week."

But they're confident with these measures in place, the chances for outbreak are little to none.

"but with our sanitizing, with our masking, if all the protocols that we have in place, they shouldn't be able to spread covid at our schools."

School leaders say they'll do what it takes to give kids a fighting chance at in-person classes.

"we want to protect it.

We want to give kids a chance to get all those services they get inside our schools."

Some of the things students learn at school like hand washing can help at home too.

I'll tell you how coming up.
