HVAC Indoor Air Quality Grants for Public Schools
In 2022, Governor Lamont signed legislation establishing a new grant program to encourage public school districts to install, replace, or upgrade, their heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This program addresses school facilities’ needs and repairs for improved ventilation and indoor air quality to support healthy learning environments in districts and schools.
The application for FY24 grants is open now. Eligible applicants include local boards of education, regional boards of education, and regional education service centers.
