This document is comprised of two reports: (1) "Science-Based Recommendations to Prevent or Reduce Potential Exposures to Biological, Chemical, and Physical Agents in Schools" by Derek G. Shendell, Claire Barnett, and Stephen Boese (supported by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities of the U.S. Department of Education); and (2) "The Healthy and High Performance School: Improving Student Health Improving Student Achievement and Saving Money for Schools" (supported by grants from The Rockefeller Foundation and the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences). The first report, commissioned by Healthy Schools Network, provides a concise review of scientific literature related to school indoor environmental quality (IEQ). It is a state-of-the-art review of peer-reviewed scientific literature that demonstrates the impact that school environments have on student health and learning. It concludes with over a dozen recommendations for improving school environmental health and safety based on today's known science regarding school indoor air quality and related environmental health issues. The second second report describes the policy implications of the first report for New York state and draws together existing knowledge, data and research regarding school facilities, children's environmental health, and school facility impact on student achievement, to demonstrate that school facility issues are integral to the school reform and equity debates. It concludes with policy options for New York State leaders to improve student productivity and health through greater attention to school facility issues. (The first report contains 301 references and 3 appendixes; the second report contains a list of 49 endnotes.)
