Springfield public schools receive HVAC upgrades as summer approaches
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Many Springfield public schools are getting upgrades to their HVAC systems as the weather gets warmer.
Temperature outlook for summer in Massachusetts
On Tuesday, city officials met at the Warner School to highlight the recent upgrade to its HVAC system, helping to provide air conditioning to the school. The Warner School is one of over a dozen school buildings that have undergone or will undergo HVAC upgrades to provide a safe and comfortable learning experience for students, teachers, and staff as the weather continues getting warmer.
'This is not only good for the health aspect and air quality, it's also good for the bottom line in the budget,' said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. 'It saves us money.'
The HVAC upgrade was funded through the Elementary and Secondary Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER), which helps to address challenges in schools and support students.
There are about 18 schools left in the district that are on the list to receive an upgrade. One school will receive its upgrade this summer, and another school will in the fall.
