What Federal Funds are Available Today?

The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), a program approved by the Department of Education in part with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act relief plan is available to schools assisting in building improvements - keeping school open and safeguarding the learning environment. TSI can help school leaders and facility managers create plans to utilize these funds - Contact us today!
 

Why use Federal Funding for my School or Building? 

Improve the building’s indoor air quality (IAQ) through IoT enabled continuous air quality monitoring and spot-checking problem areas when alerted. Making sure your HVAC systems are functioning properly is a major part of keeping your building’s IAQ healthy.

School building repairs and improvements allow the school to run more smoothly, helping  alleviate certain health risks and exposure to indoor environmental quality (IEQ) hazards, while providing students and staff the confidence they need within their classrooms and hallways.

Develop plans to improve your school and implement guidance from local authorities and government agencies, such as the CDC to ensure the health and well-being of staff and students are at their best.
