Proactive Maintenance in Schools Schools without a major maintenance backlog have a higher average daily attendance by an average of 4 to 5 students per 1,000 and a lower annual dropout rate by 10 to 13 students per 1,000. How does IAQ affect enrollment?

Supporting Evidence from Scientific Literature EPA website: “How Indoor Air Quality Impacts Student Health and Academic Performance” Michele Curreri – EPA Indoor Tools for Schools Program

Good Indoor Environmental Quality improves student performance Many districts throughout the nation have studied the impact of improved indoor environmental quality resulting in: – Heightened concentration – Higher performance levels – Reduced absenteeism – Increased test scores – Lower drop out rates

Indoor Environmental Quality is Important in our Schools Immune system still developing Breathe in more air per pound of body weight Depend on adults for their health and safety Kids are precious and they are our future and Parents expect us to provide a safe and healthy environment and Children are more vulnerable to environmental hazards
