Green schools aren’t just good for kids. Excellent indoor air quality means improved health for everyone! Our nation’s teachers deserve healthy spaces for teaching our children.
Good acoustics in classrooms ensure that teachers can be heard without straining their voices. Studies show that all building occupants benefit from daylight and access to views, and research indicates that teachers are happier when they have the ability to control their environments.
And healthy, happy teachers save our schools money. Green schools commonly report reductions in teacher absenteeism and teacher turnover. Over the lifetime of a school, that amounts to huge savings.
