Clean, Green and Healthy Tribal Schools

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 hosted a Clean, Green and Healthy Tribal Schools webinar series every Wednesday for six weeks starting on January 18, 2012 at 3:30 MST. The webinar series is designed for tribal school administrators, risk managers, educators, health and safety coordinators, school health professionals, tribal environmental protection personnel, parents of school children, communities, and EPA personnel.

The goal of the webinar series is to provide information and tools for tribal school personnel and EPA personnel to ensure that tribal schools are clean, green and healthy for themselves, school children and their community. Please register to attend. You may attend one or more presentations in the webinar series and there is no cost to attend.
