The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed voluntary guidelines to assist K–12 schools in establishing and implementing environmental health programs in accordance with the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007. In carrying out this statutory mandate, EPA, along with its federal partners, developed these guidelines to help states establish the infrastructure needed to support schools in implementing school environmental health programs. Although the practices recommended within these guidelines are directed toward public school systems, much of the advice can be adopted by private schools to make their campuses healthier and safer environments.
You can find a PDF of Voluntary Guidelines for States: Development and Implementation of a School Environmental Health Program on the ISM Web site in the Research area.
