In Connecticut, public schools are required to make sure that the air inside the school is safe and healthy for students. This includes performing yearly indoor air quality (IAQ) inspections to check for things like mold, dust, harmful chemicals, or poor ventilation that could affect the health of students and staff.
During these inspections, schools focus on important areas, such as making sure the ventilation systems are working well to keep air flowing properly, checking heating and cooling systems to ensure classrooms aren’t too hot or too cold, monitoring humidity levels to prevent mold, and looking for water leaks or other issues that could cause dampness or mold.
After the inspection, schools create an IAQ report that explains the current air quality, notes any problems that were found, and includes recommendations for fixing them, such as cleaning air filters or repairing ventilation systems. The report also outlines what steps the school will take to address any issues. Schools are required to keep these reports on file and make them available to parents, so you can stay informed about how the school is ensuring a healthy environment for your child.
Connecticut law, specifically Public Act 03-220, requires schools to follow these procedures to keep the air safe and healthy. By conducting regular inspections and addressing any problems that come up, schools can help reduce risks like allergies or asthma, providing a safer and more comfortable place for children to learn.
