The Richmond School District is fully compliant with all school ventilation requirements. The district works closely with, and takes direction from, public health officials to ensure that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed, operated and maintained as per provincial guidelines:

• Mechanical ventilation systems are in excellent working order through scheduled filter changes and equipment maintenance.   
• Extended operating hours for ventilation systems — initiating ventilation systems well before school starts each day to flush the air in all rooms prior to occupancy.
• Increased fresh air exchange in accordance with provincial guidelines.
