We have already talked to our principal, the custodian and the Department of Education, but nothing has been done to address the air quality problems in our school. Can the UFT help?

When a school appears to have significant air quality problems that cannot be remedied at the school level, your chapter leader can notify your district representative who will, in turn, contact UFT Health and Safety Representatives. The UFT Health and Safety representative performs an initial investigation and, if warranted, can send the union’s industrial hygienists to inspect the school, identify problems and take air quality measurements if necessary.
