Board accepts donation of 577 air purifiers; facilities to budget filter replacements
Summary
The board accepted a donation of 577 air purifiers from the Joy Fund and buildings-and-grounds staff said they will build future filter-replacement costs into their budget to sustain the equipment.
The District 65 Board of Education accepted a district-wide gift of 577 air purifiers from the Joy Fund at its Aug. 4 Committee of the Whole meeting. Facilities staff said the donors provided unit replacement-cost information and buildings-and-grounds will budget for future filter purchases to maintain the units. Administrators said the purifiers will improve indoor air quality in district buildings and that the ongoing replacement expense is manageable within the buildings-and-grounds operating budget. Board action - Motion: A motion to accept the gift of 577 air purifiers from the Joy Fund was moved and seconded and approved by roll-call vote (Weimer: yes; Anderson: yes; Salem: yes; others: yes). Administration note - Facilities confirmed they have reviewed replacement costs and will include filter replacement as an operations line-item to sustain the donation. Ending Board members praised the gift and confirmed staff will track maintenance and replacement costs in future budgets so the devices remain functional.
