• Our systems are operated in alignment with the Oregon Department of Education’s RSSL guidance to districts, which includes guidance and recommendations for CDC.
  • We regularly monitor the operations of these systems (much of this is done remotely) and replace filters in alignment with the guidance. This is under normal circumstances about every 6 months, due to current circumstances we are evaluating them more frequently and change them accordingly.
  • The District maintenance team physically inspects our systems during routine filter changes or when other repairs are necessary.
  • The recommendation is that we do not open windows when we have a ventilation system in the building that is meeting ventilation recommendations. Opening windows creates additional concerns around security, dust, pollen, and can cause the HVAC system to not perform as designed.
