WHEREAS, establishing a Healthy Schools Taskforce and implementing annual IAQ assessments are essential components of the district’s strategy for improving air quality and promoting transparency and accountability; and
WHEREAS, the district is committed to meeting or exceeding all applicable regulations and policies, including those concerning ventilation systems, integrated pest management, green cleaning, chemical safety, tobacco-free environments, and vehicle idling restrictions; and 
WHEREAS, the implementation of a comprehensive IAQ resolution supports a culture of health and safety while empowering each school site with clear responsibilities and procedures for maintaing healthy air;
