SCUSD Classrooms and Work Spaced Equipped with MERV 13 Filters (and the Supermajority That are Not)

In order to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for students during the pandemic, school districts have to take significant mitigation steps.

One foundational component in mitigation is the ventilation and filtration systems in our classrooms.

SCTA has proposed that classrooms are:

a. equipped with centralized HVAC that provide air filtration with a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 13 or better; or

b. equipped with centralized HVAC that provide air filtration with a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 8; AND, portable air filtration units with a clean air delivery rate (CADR) of 250 or greater per 1000 square feet of floor space.

Currently, the supermajority of Sac City classrooms are not equipped with MERV 13 filters. You can view a map of each school site and work area as provided by the District:
