| Abstract: | The many negative effects that deficient building conditions have on educational quality have long been ignored. Until school systems can ensure all students have access to school buildings that are healthy, safe, comfortable, and dry, we cannot hope to adequately protect the well-being of students and staff, recruit and retain teachers, or provide quality education. Author Jerry Roseman is the director of environmental science and occupational safety and health for the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers Health & Welfare Fund. Since 1985 he has served as the director of environmental science and occupational safety and health for the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers (PFT) Health & Welfare Fund. The Health & Welfare Fund is a freestanding PFT-affiliated organization that was established in 1974 through the union's collective bargaining agreement to provide supplementary benefits and related support to promote the health, safety, and well-being of all PFT-represented employees in the School District of Philadelphia. In his role with the Health & Welfare Fund, he reviews information and data as provided by the district about environmental exposures and related building conditions; conducts school-site visits and evaluations to assess mold, asbestos, lead, and a range of other environmental hazards; and works with school district officials to find practical solutions to ensure safe building conditions. Roseman writes that while he could provide a laundry list of the environmental facility defiencies he's seen throughout his career, this article primarily focuses on what he and his team have found are the best and most effective ways to improve conditions in schools |
