Chicago Public Schools (CPS) announced that it has invested $8.5 million to purchase more than 20,000 Intellipure HEPA air purifiers for every classroom. The district also released the district-wide and school-by-school results of its ventilation assessments, as well as air quality evaluations, which were conducted by state-certified environmental specialists and show that each school evaluated can support a safe return to in-person learning. CPS is one of the only school districts in the country to conduct comprehensive ventilation assessments of every classroom, and the district has made these reports available for public review at cps.edu/airquality. Every school report on cps.edu/airquality has a breakdown of the rooms evaluated, including whether it meets the criteria and is ready for re-occupancy.
