| The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released Version 2 of their Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool (HealthySEAT). This tool is a fully customizable software program designed to help school districts evaluate and manage all of their environmental, safety and health issues. HealthySEAT is designed to be used by district-level staff to conduct voluntary self-assessments of their school and other facilities and to track and manage information on environmental conditions school by school. The guidance included in HealthySEAT can improve the health of students and staff by ensuring that all potential environmental and safety hazards in schools (such as mold and indoor air quality problems, pesticide exposures, and chemical releases) are being properly managed.
