Effective August 1, 2025, the HVAC indoor air quality for public schools grant program has been discontinued and is now part of the non-priority list process, which can be administratively approved by the DAS commissioner. This will give public school districts an opportunity to apply for funding to upgrade HVAC systems or make other improvements to indoor air quality in school buildings on a rolling, monthly basis.
We understand that finding the right technology can be a complex task. Not all air purification technologies are equally backed by research. That is is why we encourage school districts to make informed decisions when investing in air quality improvement measures.
The Connecticut Department of Health has compiled a summary of the available research on the most common air filtration technologies. Districts may find it a helpful resource to inform purchasing decisions.
