Work with parents, students and staff to develop a "Safety Bill of Rights" for your school. You can use my Healthy Kids: The Key to Basics Principles and Bill of Rights as a starting point.
Parents, educators, and health professionals
owe it to children to eliminate environmental
hazards that are a source of preventable illness
and disability.
Every child has a right to an environmentally
safe and healthy home and school.
Schools should serve as role models for
environmental safety and environmentally
responsible behavior.
Everyone has a right to know about unsafe
and unhealthy school conditions and to be
involved in efforts to create and maintain
safe conditions.
Schools should have a "zero tolerance"
policy for explosives and other hazardous
materials.
