Healthy Indoor Environments in Schools:
Plans, Practices and Principles for Maintaining
Healthy Learning Environments
Join the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a three-part webinar series on creating and maintaining healthy learning environments in schools. The webinars will feature experts, including school district leaders who will discuss the plans, practices and principles they have put in place to sustain comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) management programs. Each webinar includes a moderated question-and-answer session with speakers and representatives from EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
