This report highlights the important role that can be played by state policy in ensuring that all schools address basic IAQ issues as part of their ongoing operations and maintenance activities. Numerous school districts around the country are already doing so, and some have pioneered new programs and approaches to addressing indoor environmental quality in their facilities. In many communities, school staff, employee unions and parents have advocated effectively for, and worked with school officials to establish, school IAQ programs. Yet carefully designed and implemented policies at the state level can provide flexibility while helping to ensure that minimum IAQ management practices will be implemented throughout a state.
