When talking about Frisco’s schools, “clean” is just not enought to describe them. Immaculate is a better adjective. You could eat directly off the cafeteria tables, forget the plates.
There’s a reason for the cleanliness and the lack of H1N1 virus in Frisco. His name is Mohamed Mohamed.
Mohamed is the head of the custodial department for Frisco Independent School District.
When asked why Frisco schools shine, Mohamed will first show you the rosters he receives daily from every Frisco public school indicating absenteeism and the number of those absent who had flu symptoms. His objective is “zero.”
Mohamed opens the door to a spotless supply room and reveals just part of his fleet of steam cleaning and disinfectant equipment that would make any hospital green with envy. He demonstrates his protocol for daily cleaning of the buildings and wiping down of the cafeteria tables and serving equipment.
At every stop, I took swab tests and checked them with a luminometer. A luminometer is a device that uses light rays to determine the infestation of germs or bacteria on a surface.
The test results were astounding. Frisco ISD showed food-grade readings from surfaces that in other facilities scored high in contaminants.
