District staff has solicited applications for the CAP program. The School Filtration project for Lake County Office of Education (LCOE) will provide benefit throughout the County. Along with filters installed in all facilities operated by LCOE, every District will receive filtration units for gymnasiums to create clean air spaces for students and the community (when used as an evacuation shelter).
The District is required to inspect and audit the project and ensure all program requirements are met prior to project funding. The District will provide funding for this project upon verification that the project is complete and equipment is fully operational.
