Our District Wins Health Award We can all breathe a little easier knowing that our school district won the 2011 Achievements in Respiratory or "AIR" Health Award from California Breathing for implementing strategies making our school environments healthier for students and staff with asthma. To be eligible for the award, schools districts must have instituted air quality improvement efforts that address asthma-causing cleaning supplies, pesticide use, classroom pets, and maintenance problems. Additionally, the districts must have demonstrated enforcement of state regulations reducing bus idling near schools, and banning smoking on school property. Each school district will receive a monetary prize of $5000, a trophy and acknowledgement in the press. The funds are provided through a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. View 2011 Air Health Award winners at Californa Breathing website. updated 4/12/12
