About Us

Safer Air Safer Schools is an organization based in Massachusetts that fights for cleaner air in schools through legislation and advocacy. 

Clean air is a political problem that requires a political solution. The partnership of legislation and clean air education, is what it takes to move the needle on global health inequity, economic preservation, and educational strength.

We, and countless other families, have grown frustrated with the number of accruing absences of our children and their teachers from school.  By monitoring air quality, and utilizing other, simple methods such as HEPA filtration and HVAC upgrades, our kids will be healthier from breathing in fewer pollutants.  Not only will their health improve, but so will their cognition and test scores! Such small adjustments to the way our buildings run can have a profound impact on families, teachers and staff.  

We believe in the power of information.  When folks understand how to achieve optimal health, it unlocks their potential.  We want community members to have the knowledge and the tools needed to support this effort.  When we work together, we can elevate the minds and health of the next generation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and beyond.

FACT: Cleaning our school air makes health stronger, education stronger, and the Massachusetts economy better with fewer sick days taken.
