At the last District 202 School Board meeting, held just two days before Evanston Township High School is scheduled to open for hybrid learning, administrators described the ongoing efforts to make the school safe for students, faculty and staff.
A lingering question for teachers is whether the air quality in the building is as safe as administrators have said it is.
Assistant Superintendent/Principal Marcus Campbell said at the April 12 meeting the air ducts “are cleaned on a rotational yearly basis. Spaces that do not have an HVAC system, such as the gyms and the fieldhouse, have exhaust fans that run at all times during the building occupation. The air moved by the exhaust fans is replaced in these locations with air from outside that has gone through the roof filters.”
