Prince George’s County Public Schools and its Environmental Office are being honored for the school system’s innovative efforts focused on how deeply student well-being ties to a healthy school environment when it comes to key components like healthy indoor air quality (IAQ).
The school system recently earned 31st Annual Magna Awards Grand Prize standing for its dedicated work on this front, and will be profiled in the April issue of the quarterly American School Board Journal.
According to a related press release, “Recognizing the direct link between a healthy school environment and student well-being, the district prioritizes support of healthy IAQ through its dedicated Environmental Office. The newly developed comprehensive IAQ plan is based on the guidelines set forth by the EPA and the Go Green Initiative training. The plan will help the district meet the goals of creating healthy indoor environments for staff and students.”
