WELCOME TO THE CHILDSAFE SCHOOL

---

The ChildSafe School is a grassroots program offering science-based policy solutions for three environmental exposures common to most schools:

• diesel exhaust from idling school buses
• chemical toxins from cleaning chemicals
• pesticides used on playing fields

We welcome parents, teachers and administrators who share our concern about the alarming increase in the incidence of environmentally-triggered illness in children, including asthma, development disorders and cancer.  Our program is designed to help you bring about change in your school system.

Here you will find information on each of these exposures, sample policies which can be adapted for any school, short clips from our documentary DVDs, and information on how to order the ChildSafe Resource Guide and become a ChildSafe Advocate in your community. 

The ChildSafe School was developed by Grassroots Environmental Education, a non-profit organization.
