About
This American Public Health Association policy statement is about creating systems to protect children in schools from environmental risks. It describes how some kids are more at risk due to things like pollution or unsafe school buildings. The goal is to make sure schools have plans and resources to keep students safe and healthy. This includes checking for harmful chemicals, improving air quality, and educating staff on safety measures. By doing this, it aims to create a safer learning environment for all children, especially those who might be more vulnerable due to their surroundings or health conditions.
