The Healthy Schools Project
Andrea Burich led the workshop filled with guests from James Korfas of ISS and Jessica Holloway from Malcolm X College. She pointed out that the common cold costs Americans more than 189 million school days a year, almost $14.5 billion in lost productivity - the Healthy Schools Project aims to save schools money, time, productivity and to maintain the health of students. The dirtiest places in an education facility are the door handles and shared water fountains. While most schools have protocols in place to reduce the spreading of germs - like regular wipe downs - the Healthy Schools Project has implemented a plan that places hand sanitizer at key hot spots, making cleanliness easily accessible. By combining the placement of sanitation projects with hygiene programs in schools, the Healthy Schools Project has reduced germs by 51% at the elementary level and 43% at the university level. The project pairs hygiene programs with sanitation projects and marketing that enhances school image. Using posters and signage throughout facilities, the project raises awareness and reminds student to protect themselves in high-germ environments. Offering certified green products, Kimberly-Clark Professional works one-on-one with schools to develop a plan that is personalized to the school's needs and budgets.
