What does a licensed school need to maintain in a sanitary and safe operating order?

A licensed school is required to maintain all Board required equipment in a sanitary and safe operating order because this equipment is essential for the delivery of education and training in a manner that adheres to health and safety regulations. Compliance with these standards ensures that students have access to a safe and functional learning environment, which is vital for both the well-being of the students and the reputation of the institution. Proper maintenance of required equipment not only upholds the school's commitment to safety but also satisfies regulatory obligations, thereby supporting the overall educational mission.

While textbooks, student records, and financial records are important for the functioning of an educational institution, they do not directly pertain to the health and safety aspect of operating the school. Therefore, the focus on maintaining equipment as mandated by the Board reflects the priority placed on ensuring a safe and sanitary environment for both students and staff.
