New York City Construction Authority (SCA) will complete repairs and ensure air circulation before start of school. We are also upgrading central HVAC system filters from MERV 8 to MERV 13 where appropriate.

Ex:(Model 2: 7-11 vs Model 1a & 1b up to 15/ classroom) ❏ Smaller group cohorts (health and safety, SEL and academic benefits) ❏ Available staff ❏ Schools will have the opportunity to reconsider their initial selections as COVID-19 Reasonable Accommodations staff responses and data from the Learning Preference Survey are available and updated up until August 14, 2020.
