Has anybody sent their kid to school with a CO2 monitor (to measure ventilation)?

I don't know anyone who has done this.
Of course, all my friends are sane, so YMMV. |

| Yes. Topped out at about 1500 ppm right before lunch. Too high, but there is also an air cleaner in the classroom. |

It’s an index of indoor air quality. |

Don’t your facilities teams do this already? |

If they do, they don’t report results. I asked. |

| Ashburton has a CO2 monitor in the lunch room. Pre-covid, it routinely spiked around 1000 ppm at lunch. |

That's actually not terrible; if they put a few air scrubbers in there it would be quite safe from an air quality standpoint. |

| So you get bad results and what are you going to do about it? |

Ours weren’t bad. If they were, we would have shared them with the teacher and principal and asked for mitigation. |
