As we inch closer to a return to in-person learning, school districts are really beginning to feel the heat when it comes to finances. COVID-19 has been responsible for...
There has never been a more hectic time to reopen schools - yet the time is upon us.
Between the different methods of reopening that districts are approaching, no matter what they go with, there are going to be people who have no choice but to return to school in-person.
Below, you’ll find the top 5 touch-free technologies that will allow staff and students to head back to school safely.
1. Room Occupancy Sensors
Almost everyone has encountered the magic feeling of walking into a room and seeing the lights spring to life!
This is thanks to the wonderful technology known as room occupancy sensors.
They come in all sorts of configurations, but the most common variant will simply control lights depending on whether or not a certain amount of people are present.
This technology is great for not only conserving energy, but also remaining contactless by avoiding high-touch surfaces such as light switches.
2. Automatic Sanitizer Dispensers
Unfortunately, there will always be a few surfaces that you can’t avoid touching. But, you can combat them by offering automatic hand sanitizer and soap dispensers.
Devices like these will allow staff to keep clean throughout the day, while at the same time serving as reminders for students to periodically sanitize and wash their hands.
3. Touchless Faucets
Speaking of hand washing, some more great no-touch technologies to consider are touchless faucets. Having the ability to dispense soap without touch is amazing, but worthless if you have to touch the faucet to rinse.
These have been adopted by many schools in the past, so your district may already be fortunate enough to have them. But if not, we advise you look into a way for your students and staff to wash up without needing to touch anything.
4. Touch-free Door Badges
Security is a major concern for all school districts. Requiring badges to enter the building is a great way to knock out two birds with one stone.
This ensures safety in two forms: zero touching of the door itself, and making sure the person attempting entry has the appropriate credentials.
5. Contactless Entry Kiosks
We believe in making life effortless and safe for school district employees and the students they’re responsible for.
The latest addition to our all-in-one, contactless kiosks - The Safe-T-Screen - allows us to achieve that goal.
Equipped with thermal scanning technology, HIPPA-compliant discreet result delivery, and touch-free methods of clocking in once you’re approved, the Safe-T-Screen is the most efficient way of making sure your staff is confident about coming to school.
No matter how your district is tackling back-to-school, you’ll need to invest in technology that lowers the risk for disease transmission so both students and staff are safe at school this year.
