Short Business Proposal

What is the business problem?

Educational institutions nationwide have the continued task of protecting their employees and students with the guarantee that they are presenting a quality education throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus has killed more than 700,000 Americans as of early 2020 and continues to weaken employment in the quantity of educationalists willing to teach in unsafe environments. In retrospect, parents are discouraged from sending their children to atmospheres possibly ridden with infection. Currently, Texas schools do not require masks to be worn on campus nor are there any mandates to wash hands at determined time intervals. Dividers are used at the whim of respective campus leadership and overcrowding prevents social distancing to be effective. School districts are in dire need to ensure staff and students that they can provide a safe learning environment from the time they enter and exit the building.

Who has the problem?

Texas Schools is considered as the problem with approximately 9000 elementary and middle schools.

Why is it a problem? (Waiting to see what you ladies think before adding additional information)

Children of all ages can catch the Covid-19 virus and spread it amongst themselves. Parents are concerned with the health and development of their children, so having their children exposed to an unhealthy environment causes significant concerns about their well-being. All school districts should have the same safety and health provisions regardless of their neighborhoods. If children aren’t forced to wear face protectors, then clear desk frames and hand sanitation procedures must be executed. Primarily if the children aren’t vaccinated, preventatives should be implemented across school districts. Whether parents are enforced to include sanitation products with the recommended school supplies, district-provided supplies or district incorporate sanitation contracts for their schools.

How big is the market you plan to serve?

There are approximately 20,561 public schools in the state of Texas. That totals approximately 5,371,586 students. This is not including any staff members which broaden the market even more with approximately 656,541 staff members in the Texas public school system. With Covid-19 numbers fluctuating all the time, there is a continuous risk to staff and students which necessitates the need for sanitation stations, sanitation supplies, and more PPE. Texas public schools get money every day for each student that attends, which is known as the ADA(Average daily attendance). Our sanitation stations, supplies, and PPE will save them money in the long run by cutting down on the number of Covid-19 cases thus continuing to have a high ADA.
