At Barnstable Public Schools, we believe that healthy indoor air is essential for student learning, staff well‑being, and a safe, welcoming school environment. We are committed to taking clear, consistent action to address concerns, improve building conditions, and prevent issues before they start.

This site is your central resource for learning how BPS actively monitors, improves, and maintains indoor air quality across all of our schools. It reflects the systems we’ve put in place — and continue to refine — so every classroom and workspace supports comfort, safety, and productivity.

Whether you are a teacher, parent, student, or member of our facilities team, you’ll find practical tools and information to stay informed and engaged.

Here, you can:

• Learn how BPS has adapted the EPA’s Tools for Schools framework into our own prevention and response process.

• Access guides and resources to better understand the EPA's Tools for Schools.

• Review results from the Baseline Mold & IAQ Assessments for each school, including how areas are cleaned, professionally remediated when needed, and verified through post‑remediation clearance testing.

• Read our FAQ for answers to common questions about mold, IAQ, and our procedures.

• BPS Staff - See when and how to submit a work order for mold or IAQ concerns.

Our goal is to ensure that indoor air quality is always a priority— it’s a part of our daily operations, our planning, and our shared responsibility as a school community.
