3 Introduction Indoor Air Quality, (IAQ) is becoming an increasingly important issue in our nation s schools. Approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population nearly 56 million people spend their days inside elementary and secondary schools. Good IAQ assists schools with their core mission educating children. In addition, the State of Indiana has recently addressed the issue with new standards that apply to all public and non-public schools in the state (410 IAC 33). This rule is administered by the Indiana Department of Health. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis oversees implementation of the rule in schools through the Office of Management Services in cooperation with the Office of Catholic Education. An effective IAQ program can help schools address IAQ issues quickly and efficiently and create a healthier learning environment for staff and students. The program should be tailored to the specific needs of your school as the organizational and physical structures of schools vary. Although the administrative process of who and when is flexible, it is important that the major individual activities be completed. Start-Up Hints In addition to completing the coordinator s forms provided in the Appendix: Obtain a map/blueprint of the school. This will be an invaluable resource as you implement your IAQ program. Make a copy of any existing school policies and building specifications/codes, such as anti-idling policies or rules about where the school buses must park for student drop-off/pick-up. Count the number of staff and their job categories (for example, the number of teachers and the number of maintenance staff). You ll need this information to distribute checklists. Gather names and contact information for any of the school s outside contractors, such as maintenance staff; heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning contractors; or bus fleet operators. Secure support from the school and/or school district administration. Read the IAQ Coordinator s Guide, especially this section: Develop an IAQ Tools for Schools Program. Meet with your school s heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning technician to acquire a working knowledge of the various ventilation units at your school. Learn which systems serve which rooms. Meet with the custodial staff to form a better understanding of their tasks, maintenance schedules, equipment inventory, and resources (budgets). Meet with school bus fleet administrators/operators to learn about the buses in the fleet (e.g., model year, mileage, safety features, replacement schedules). Set up a location for turning in checklists and a filing system for all the paperwork you will generate. Keep it in a convenient location. (Portable file boxes work nicely.) Set up an IAQ Resource Center at your school in an area where staff members can access information at their leisure. This is also a great place to post important reminders and communicate with staff.
