Bill > A1030

This bill requires each board of education to adopt a policy establishing temperature control standards and guidelines for school district facilities. The policy must ensure, to the greatest extent feasible, that school buildings provide students with a temperature-controlled environment conducive to learning. The policy will require a designated staff member to monitor compliance with the standards and initiate permitted corrective measures, establish a protocol for instances where classroom temperatures are not conducive to learning, and identify permitted temperature control measures in accordance with local building and fire codes. The policy must also be informed by the temperature standards outlined in the Indoor Air Quality Standard established by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development and require corrective measures to be addressed, where feasible, by the action outlined in that Standard.
