Adams County School District 14 (Adams 14) has purchased and installed over 400 Synexis Spheres units in classrooms and common areas in buildings throughout the district. The district received funding for the new technology through its Safe Schools Reopening Grant and a partnership with Trane Technologies.
The Synexis Spheres use microbial reduction technology, which continuously reduces microbes in the air and on surfaces. According to the company, the new patented technology reduces viruses, bacteria, mold, odors, and insects both in the air and on surfaces, without relying on the exchange of air, while still continuously flowing through any indoor space without students or staff leaving the room.
A fatal collision between a Caltrain train and a pedestrian at the Churchill Avenue crossing in Palo Alto disrupted service and traffic in the area on Thursday afternoon.
