Healthy Schools Campaign (HSC) is a leading partner for green cleaning in schools. Cleaning programs are a critical part of a school’s or university’s effort to provide students and staff with the opportunity to learn and work in a place that is healthy and safe. As part of a long-term effort, HSC is seeking to better understand what schools are doing and determine the type of resources and tools schools need. To get more information on how you can join the green cleaning movement, access support and resources, and be recognized for your current efforts, contact HSC at greencleanschools.org. Provide feedback by June 15 and you will be entered into a drawing for one of ten $50 American Express gift cards and one pass to the ISSA Show North America 2018 and ISSA Convention in Dallas, TX, October 29–November 1.
