Distribution of Portable Air Cleaners to More Classrooms

The SFUSD Facilities Division will begin distribution of Portable Air Cleaners (PACs) to more classrooms on 9/7/21. 

We have purchased the High Capacity Plus Purifier from USA Sealing for classroom use. Four criteria shaped the selection of this model of PAC:

• HEPA filtration
• Large room capacity: 1500 square feet
• Low power draw:  4 amps
• Sturdy construction: will hopefully withstand the bumps and bruises of classroom life. 

PACs will be distributed to all schools on a rolling basis. 

Two criteria have shaped our selection of the first sites with operable windows to receive PACs: 1) Facilities staff have assessed the electrical load capacity of the buildings and 2) geographic location.

At this time, we are distributing PACs to classrooms only. PACs will be delivered and installed in the morning before school starts or after school. A PAC “team” and truck will be on site to unbox the PACs, deliver and install to classrooms, collect  and document serial numbers, and remove or store debris on site for collection later.
