About half the school districts and charter schools included in the Burbio sample intend to spend on improving heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Such expenditures can range from buying better filters for existing units or replacing faulty systems that fail to heat or cool schools. Some are investing in repairs to prevent illness and new construction, while others plan to spend on personal protective equipment and the apparatus for outdoor classrooms.
