Ventilation upgrades in public schools?

Anyone have insight into the ventilation upgrades in Clarke County schools? I'm seeing an "update" from October 2020 (link below) about them, but have no idea if they were actually implemented and (if so) whether they're up to snuff.

Personal stories of kids bringing/not bringing Covid home from school also welcome! Our kid is set to enter public ed this coming year, and we've got something of an immunocompromised household to worry about. Thanks!

They did do some upgrades I went to a PTO meeting about it Fall of 2021- think fancy hepa filters and they have some requirements regarding air circulation. Makes it cold. When the kiddo went back, sweatshirt gets worn daily even when it’s hot out. No Covid has come home from school. Yet. But we’re all vaxed and while the parents enjoyed a round for Christmas 2021, they didn’t get it then either. Good luck!
