ECTOR COUNTY, Texas (Nexstar) – This week, Ector County ISD will install 3,500 high-quality air purifiers that help fight airborne COVID-19 particles. Every school in the district will receive them in their classrooms and staff offices.
“They are small but powerful, removing up to 99% of harmful particles from the air,” said Brandon Reyes, ECISD’s chief operating officer. They can clean about 2,200 square feet of space in about an hour.”
He also said, “We want to help provide an additional barrier in the classroom and office to help protect our staff and students.”
ECISD has received approximately $1.2 million in funding for these air purifiers for the health of students and staff.
Staff, Maria Jimenez said, she thinks this is a step forward but students and staff shouldn’t stop wearing masks.
