The ACES Governing Board provides for a uniform inspection and evaluation program of indoor air quality complying with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Tools for Schools Program. The results of the evaluation will be made available for public inspection at a regularly scheduled Governing Board Meeting and also posted on the agency’s website.

ACES will report biennially, to the Commissioner of Education on the condition of its facilities, its long-range facilities program, its air quality program, and green cleaning program. The Board will utilize standard reporting forms to conduct and report on both IAQ and HVAC inspections and will provide the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) the completed forms for each school. The forms and/or reports will be made available on the ACES website.
