Air Quality in PRSD Schools Regarding COVID 19

Every step is being taken to ensure that we are providing a safe environment for all our students, staff and visitors in our schools.
Currently, the maintenance department of Peace River School Division is verifying that systems are operating as designed.
Increasing the amount of fresh air within our buildings while staying within operating parameters for improved air quality is also being conducted.
Air filtration is being examined and where possible, air filter ratings are being increased to provide added air quality for the schools.
Maintenance is reviewing all school rooms regarding the amount of air changes per hour (ACH), to determine if there are any deficiencies that need to be addressed.
At this time, PRSD will not be installing air purification units in individual rooms until further analysis is completed.
