Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool (HealthySEAT). EPA has developed a software tool to help school districts evaluate and manage their school facilities for key environmental, safety and health issues. HealthySEAT can be customized and used by district-level staff to conduct voluntary self-assessments of school facilities and to track and manage information on environmental conditions school by school. EPA has included critical elements of all of its regulatory and voluntary programs for schools, as well as web links to more detailed information.
The February 2008 issue of the Journal of School Health, "A CDC Review of School Laws and Policies Concerning Child and Adolescent Health,"* gives educators and public health professionals new access to information on laws and policies important to the health of children and adolescents in schools. It is intended to help practitioners and policymakers in public health and education at the federal, state, and local levels enhance their knowledge of relevant laws and policies.
Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3). This EPA campaign aims to ensure that all schools are free from hazards associated with mismanaged chemicals. SC3 gives K-12 schools, parents, and local organizations the information and tools to create partnerships for chemical management programs that meets the unique needs of their schools.
Safe and Healthy School Environments. This book explores the school environment using the methods and perspectives of environmental health science. Though environmental health has long been understood to be an important factor in workplaces, homes, and communities, this is the first book to address the same basic concerns in schools. The editors are physicians and educators trained in pediatrics, occupational and environmental medicine, and medical toxicology, and the authors are experts in their fields drawn from across the United States and abroad. Available from the Oxford University Press.
