Every child, regardless of their zip code, deserves a safe and healthy learning environment. Unfortunately, air quality experts estimate that only 14% of classrooms in Illinois public schools meet their minimum ventilation requirements, which is approximately half the amount of clean air recommended by the CDC. Research shows improved air quality is associated with better attendance, enhanced cognitive function, higher test scores, and even improved physical health. HB3713 will quickly and significantly transform air quality for all Illinois public schools–starting with those that need it most.

Please support HB3713 by sending this letter to your Illinois state senator! Illinois’ students, teachers, and support staff deserve clean school air.
