Discussed that disinfecting wipes do not meet the requirements for sanitizing. Discussed current absence of a program director. Discussed annual training subject matter requirements may differ than parochial training. Discussed the VDOE requirement for sleeping mats. Currently the sleeping mats can be washed but not sanitized and therefore do not meet the requirement for an appropriate rest mat.
