The Outdoor Air Quality Flag Program is a partnership with the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and the American Lung Association of Central California which is working to protect faculty, staff and students from exposure to poor outdoor air quality. The program offers an education as well as educational materials to administrators, school staff, students and parents on air quality and the health impacts of prolonged exposure to air pollution. The Air Quality Flag Program serves as a visual communication device to alert administrators, school staff, students, parents and the surrounding community of the daily air pollution risks by utilizing colored flags. The flag notification system corresponds directly to health descriptors of the Air Quality Index (AQI).
