IAQ TfS Awards Program Site Showcases Award
Winners
Since 2000, the Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools (IAQ
TfS) Program has recognized over 100 schools and school
districts for their accomplishments in creating a safe and
healthy learning environment and maintaining good IAQ in their
facilities. To showcase these outstanding schools, EPA has
created a site that highlights schools and school districts in
each state who have received recognition for implementing good
IAQ management practices. Visit
epa.gov/iaq/schools/iaqtfsawards.html, and click
on your state to see who has won an award. You may even have an
opportunity to be the first award winner in your state!
Whether you are just beginning your IAQ program or you have had
procedures in place for years, we encourage you to apply for an
award today. Applications for the Great Start, Leadership,
and Excellence Awards are all available for download on this
site. Additionally, instructions for applying, eligibility
requirements, and a sample Letter of Intent are all accessible
from this Web site.

www.epa.gov/schools
The Healthy School Environments web pages are intended to
serve as a gateway to on-line resources to help facility
managers, school administrators, architects, design engineers,
school nurses, parents, teachers and staff address
environmental health issues in schools. A flyer is
available as a PDF file (in both color and black and white),
that will help you advertise the Healthy School Environments
Web Portal to K-12 schools and other interested stakeholders.
