The Air District's Board of Directors approved allocating $4 million in Community Air Protection Incentives funding to support home and school air filtration programs in Bay Area communities at their June 4 meeting. As part of this initiative, the Air District Board authorized up to $1.3 million of upgrades in public schools in Richmond, North Richmond, San Pablo, and Tara Hills. An additional $1.7 million will be used to expand air filtration upgrades in schools in Bayview-Hunters Point in San Francisco, and $1 million will be allocated to the Air District’s Home Air Filtration program.
This investment will deliver high-efficiency air filtration retrofits and five years of filter replacements in up to 14 public schools in Richmond, North Richmond, San Pablo, and Tara Hills, at no cost to the West Contra Costa Unified School District. This work builds on previous upgrades already completed by the Air District at Washington, Dover, Riverside, and King elementary schools.
The School Air Filtration Program directly supports Strategy 4, Action 4.2 of the Richmond-North Richmond-San Pablo Community Emissions Reduction Plan, or Path to Clean Air, developed in collaboration with the Community Steering Committee, local residents, and community partners through the Community Air Protection Program. School selection was informed by the Richmond-North Richmond-San Pablo CERP, CSC, California Air Resources Board and the Air District.
