In New Milford, the school board has received town approval to allocate $250,000 for evaluating HVAC systems in all five schools, as mandated by state law. The evaluation, conducted by Consulting Engineering Services, is underway and will continue through the summer. State regulations require comprehensive inspections of HVAC systems in schools by January 1, 2025, and every five years thereafter, ensuring compliance and indoor air quality. While this funding covers assessments, any necessary system solutions will require separate budgeting.
