Review of school wildfire smoke protections for kids
This bill would direct the EPA to seek a contract with the National Academies to review how schools and childcare protect kids from wildfire smoke. The review would look at protections during and after wildfires and include school- or childcare-run activities like sports and summer camps. It would assess current standards and ways to reduce smoke exposure, and identify gaps in research and policy. It would also give Congress recommendations, with a focus on under-resourced schools and childcare programs. The study would not create new benefits or funding by itself.
