Are schools required to follow EPA's IAQ Tools for Schools guidance?

EPA does not require schools to use the voluntary IAQ Tools for Schools guidance, nor does it require the retention or submission of any information gathered. However, some states have recently enacted legislation that require schools to take specific IAQ actions.

EPA also does not require air monitoring in schools. However, your state or local jurisdiction may have implemented some type of monitoring requirements.
