Act Now to Revitalize Your School Facilities with ESSER III Funding!
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act injected crucial financial support into school districts to combat the persistent challenges stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Under ARP, the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Funds (ESSER III or ARP ESSER) were established to bolster education. These funds, available only until September 2024, empower local education agencies (LEAs) to enhance school facilities, reducing virus transmission risks and environmental health hazards. This encompasses improvements in indoor air quality, remodeling, alterations, and necessary renovations and repairs.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, local education agencies (LEAs) can use these funds to repair and improve school facilities to reduce the risk of virus transmission and exposure to environmental health hazards. This encompasses a range of initiatives, including:
- Enhancing Indoor Air Quality
- Comprehensive Remodeling
- Strategic Alterations
- Renovations and Repairs

It combines a UV-C Air Purifier with coordinating ceiling panels or LED lighting, offering safe and unobtrusive in-room air purification. This system is designed to neutralize 97% of allergens, viruses, and bacteria in the air on the first pass through the unit.
