Subject: Now Available : EPA's Draft Healthy School Environments
Assessment Tool


The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing a new, completely
voluntary, and fully customizable tool to help school districts conduct
self-assessments of their school facilities for potential environmental
health and safety hazards. The heart of the tool is a powerful database
file that will let school districts customize the tool to manage all
aspects of a facility assessment program.

The tool comes pre- loaded with a checklist that integrates all of EPA's
voluntary and regulatory programs for schools, and is designed so that
states and school districts can incorporate their own policies and
programs, producing a customized checklist and reference guidebook.

To learn more about the draft Healthy School Environments Assessment
Tool and download the Beta Version for testing, visit:

and individuals on the draft tool until May 5, 2005.
