UV-C Expected Improvements
Adjust your expectations for reduction in pathogen-driven costs. (Based on existing efficacy data.)
Directly recovers ADA funding.
Reduces substitute teacher reliance.
Improves morale and retention (high replacement costs).
Lowers respiratory-related insurance claims.
Methodology Notes
- Student Absences: Uses a baseline of 8.5 days/year (NCES/Attendance Works).
- Funding Loss: Estimated at $46.50 per student/day (National State Aid Average).
- Teacher Turnover: Cost is conservatively modeled at 12% of average salary (<1/2 Learning Policy Institute estimates).
- UV Reliability: Peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Menzies et al.) indicate reliable 10-20% reduction in respiratory illness through effective air treatment.
The Real Cost of Poor Air Quality
We recognize the intense pressure on district leaders to deliver quality education while managing rising health and staffing costs. The status quo of air quality places an unavoidable "Hidden Tax" on your budget and staff.
Every staff sick day requires scrambling for coverage. Every absent student means lost ADA funding.
Current Annual "Hidden Tax"
Total estimated burden of absenteeism, subs, turnover & respiratory health.
Lost ADA Funding
Critical state aid lost due to student sick days.
Subs & Turnover Cost
Cost of substitutes and replacing teachers due to burnout.
Respiratory Care Premium
Estimated portion of health costs linked to respiratory illness.
3-Year Cumulative Savings Potential
