Healthy Schools Campaign and Green Seal are seeking the public's help as they work to create the first national standard for healthy and sustainable school facilities. The news was shared by Healthy Green Schools & Colleges, which is the program created by the two institutions.
The program will put specific focus on impactful measures that can be implemented without the need for capital investments.
The Healthy Green Schools & Colleges standard is designed to be used by K-12 school districts and places of higher education. Healthy Green Schools & Colleges likes to develop its standards using a transparent process that leverages the public's input to create the change.
