Description:
When it comes to students' health, our kids deserve
the best protection possible. These days, elementary and secondary
schools have many important safety issues to deal with, not the least of
which is to ensure that students are protected from dangerous chemicals
where they learn.
Join us for the Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign RCC
Web Academy -- Chemicals in Schools: Real Problems, Real Solutions -- to
hear from school, community, and industry experts who have all grappled
with school chemical management issues and come away from the experience
with valuable lessons learned and stories to share.

outdated, unknown and unneeded chemicals in Grandview, MO. They will discuss their
experiences in the webinar.
