Key strategies used to address IAQ
Complete 1-3 strategies
Reason for choosing strategy
1-Monitor CO and CO2 levels with in the
facilities
To ensure the efficient operation of the
HVAC units and to verify safe levels of CO
and CO2 within each building from
outside sources.
2- Test Moisture levels within the
buildings
To ensure that the moisture level is < 50%
to combat mold within the facility
3- Change air filters on a regular basis.
To lengthen the life of HVAC units as well
as cleaner Indoor Air Quality for
inhabitants
4- Place signage outside each building
that no idling of engines. This is with in a
30’ distance of the buildings
Prevent seepage of CO into the building
structure from outside sources. Low cost
and easy to implement.

The district's IAQ reach and scope
of work (list 1-3)
We have tested air quality in all of our
school sites.
We began a rotation of cleaning HVAC
ducts two summers ago and are working
our way through our buildings.
12
Our impact in schools (list 1-3)
The most noticeable impact is in teacher
attendance…. Particularly at one of our
elementary sites. A few teachers missed
consistently and claimed it was due to
“mold” in the school. After we cleaned the
air ducts, tested for mold and logged the
temp/relative humidity & dew point to show
we have no mold problem teacher
attendance increased…. And complaints
decreased…

training to IAQ Coordinators.
Allows each school to have an IAQ-savvy
and confident individual who will try to
resolve issues at the time and location
they occur.

ensure they are aware of the
implementation of temporary and
permanent resolutions to IAQ issues.
Keeps stakeholders comfortable and
trusting of District efforts– even when
bigger items cannot be fixed immediately.
48

reasonable solutions to identified
problems
Sometimes the solutions to problems are
not immediately determined but through
discussion a solution is often available.
70
What has been done well (list 1-3)

we try to work that situation to the
satisfaction of the complainant so that they
can see that we have made a difference in
their situation.
