APHA's Occupational Health Section strongly supported the successful APHA Policy Resolution (# 200010) "Creating Healthier School Facilities." Section members may now take their activism to the federal and state levels with a new national POSITION STATEMENT 2004/05 issued by the Coalition for Healthier Schools. This calls for federal, state and local actions to improve school environments, from design, construction, and maintenance. Please consider adding your support and communicating your support to elected officials.
