**__A. General Indoor Air Quality Information__**
|| **Our school has an indoor air quality plan, but no records are kept of it. Our school has a regular cleaning schedule that is followed. Non-toxic cleaning products are used. Air exchange in the school is adequate. Air supply and exhaust vents are clear. They are generally free of odors. Air supply and exhaust vents are clean and relatively dust free.

Spaces regularly occupied (spaces at or below ground level that are occupied for 45 minutes a day or longer) have been tested for radon.

Room temperatures are within aceptable ranges for the season (68 degrees to 78 degrees). The relative humidity in the school is within acceptable ranges (33% to 55%).

There are signs of ongoing water damage in the school. There are no signs of mold or mildew.** ||

Teachers and other staff members are informed of students' asthma and allergies.

In areas with sinks and drains, the drains have traps. The drain traps have water to prevent sewer gases from leaking into the school.

Indoor painting is done when students and teachers are on break so people aren't exposed to paint fumes.** ||

Outdoor air intakes are free from blockages and obstructions. Bird or animal droppings are not near air intakes. Bee droppings are sometimes near them, but the custodians use a spray on them.

Vehicles near the building aren't allowed to idle for longer than 3 minutes. Garbage dumpsters are not located near air intakes or windows and doors that are frequently open.** ||


 * __​ C. Action Plan __**


 * ~ [[image:notebook.jpg width="119" height="196" align="center"]] || **Based on the information I gathered in this section, I think that records should start to be kept about the air quality plan. That way, if a change in the plan is needed, people will be able to know exactly what is already being done and what can be done better. School staff should be sure to repair the water damage that is found in the school as soon as possible to prevent the growth of mold. Make sure any steps are followed to repair the water damage. For example, if there are ceiling tiles that have been damaged by water, they should be replaced.** ||
