Why does this matter? Because air quality matters\u2014now more than ever. Whether you\u2019re a facilities manager at one school building, an entire school district, or a contractor helping keep schools in A+ shape, take advantage of allocated funds before it\u2019s too late!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some things you should know:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>States must award the grants for relief within one year of being issued or return them for reallocation.<\/li>\n<li>Local Education Authorities (LEAs) should be applying now for them via their state\u2019s Department of Education website.<\/li>\n<li>Once done, grants are obligated via contracts for projects that are reviewed and deemed as qualifying.<\/li>\n<li>Awards must be obligated by:\n<ul>\n<li>9\/2021 (ESSER I) deadline\u20149\/30\/21<\/li>\n<li>9\/2022 (ESSER II) deadline\u20149\/30\/2022<\/li>\n<li>9\/2023 (ESSER III) deadline\u20149\/30\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>ESSER\/GEER\/HEERF funding can be used for school facility repairs and improvements, including heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system projects to improve indoor air quality.<\/li>\n<li>Improving indoor air quality can be done through: detecting and reducing contaminants, managing air filtration, cleaning with UV-C light, managing airflow, controlling temperature, balancing humidity, controlling and changing room pressurization, and ensuring fresh air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These allocated funds are money in your budget, and it\u2019s time to plan your project and begin ordering parts!
