The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created an extensive environmental health resource geared toward preventing, reducing and resolving common environmental hazards in schools. This resource, Sensible Steps to Healthier School Environments, along with the EPA’s Healthy Schools Checklist assessment, will help school districts monitor and improve environmental health for students and staff. Read through the EPA’s resource and use the checklist to get a jump on making your school buildings environmentally safer.
