The Governor Mifflin Schools in Berks County have joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Tools for Schools Program to help improve indoor air quality.

The District will be working with EPA Region 3 in Philadelphia to develop a plan to address poor indoor air quality by providing its staff with basic training, outreach and education.

The school district has had problems with poor indoor air quality, lack of ventilation, lack of maintenance and mold. EPA will assist with indoor air quality building assessments and technical assistance to help them develop a long term plan to address these issues.

The Governor Mifflin School District educates approximately 4,192 students and is comprised of two elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school with a total of 504 staff serving the district.
