As we acclimate to the later stages of COVID-19, we're starting to look forward to immunizations, the reopening of businesses, and preparing to welcome back students, employees and coworkers into in-person settings.
This month's issue covers options that are available to help you stay prepared as we transition into re-entering schools, businesses, offices, etc. Take a look below at how our contracts can help you adjust to re-entry, by bringing fresh air indoors, expanding outdoor space, repurposing your classroom with window shades, checking emergency equipment, managing cyber risks, and securely tracking immunizations.
Thank you for being a valued member!
Best Regards,
MHEC

CANCELLATION NOTICE Annual Golf Tournament and Networking Event
Thank you to all who participated in our Events Survey. At this time, we have decided to cancel this year's annual Golf Tournament. Never fear; we do plan on bringing back this popular networking event next year.
We are working on finalizing dates for the Member meeting and a VEXPO Member conference, which will introduce significantly more education through specific tracks reflecting our diverse member community. Details to come.

Use A01 to Bring Fresh Air Indoors |
|
|
|
One day in March, the kids were there. The next day, there was no one.
Use A01: Appliances
Bringing fresh air indoors has finally become a top priority and the real key to bringing students and staff back inside our schools nationwide.
|
|
|
Use B14 to Expand Outdoor Space |
|
The Importance of Play
Use B14: Athletics: Gym & Field - Cardio & Strength, Games, Equipment
During the pandemic, many communities made the most of their existing outdoor spaces and have seen the benefits of that increased space going forward. Commercial shade sails and other shelter solutions along with benches, picnic tables and other site amenities will allow for outdoor meetings, community gatherings and so much more.

Use C04 to Repurpose Your Classroom |
|
|
|
Re-entering the building, best practices for your window shades and blinds.
Use C04: Windows, Window Treatments
As you welcome back staff and students to your campus, checking the operation and safety of window shades and blinds is an important part of your checklist.
|
|
|
Use G17 to Keep You Prepared For Emergencies |
|
Check Emergency Equipment Before Reopening Schools
Use G17: Custodial Cleaning Equipment and Supplies
Amid a pandemic, it is imperative for schools to have the proper equipment in case of an emergency. From AEDs to masks, here is an overview of some of the supplies you should check before reopening.

|
|
Use I02 to Manage Cyber Risks During Pandemic |
|
|
|
Data and Network Systems, the new ‘brick and mortar’?
Use I02: Insurance: Cyber, Independent Risk Management Consulting
As most everyone is overwhelmingly aware, these are unprecedented times. COVID-19 has changed almost every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Social distancing, masks, virtual meetings and statements such as ‘you’re muted’ have become norms seemingly overnight. Our personal and business lives have significantly changed, and so should the way we look at risk.

Use S01 to Securely Track Immunizations |
|
COVID-19 Tracking: How to Identify a System that Provides Accessibility, Security & Accuracy
Use S01: Human Resource Services
Using paper documents is not fitting for today’s modern, tech-driven world, yet companies are scrambling to find a better solution amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. How can immunizations become more accessible on a large scale, and why is that so important when we talk about ending the pandemic?
