Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — Dothan City Schools transportation are asking parents to wash their children’s backpacks and jackets before sending them back to school after the holiday break. With flu A, flu B, and strep throat spreading rapidly, school officials recommend disinfecting items with Lysol if washing isn’t possible.
Additionally, the school system has a collection of lost items left on buses during the first half of the school year. Parents can call 334-794-1450 to schedule an appointment to search for missing belongings.
Buses will resume operation on January 7, and parents are encouraged to send their children back with clean, sanitized gear to help reduce the spread of illness.
