Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the National Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) Program in March of 2007. The National SC3 Program uses a variety of innovative approaches to achieve three goals: (1) removal of outdated and dangerous chemicals from K-12 schools; (2) prevention of future accumulations of chemicals and reduction of accidents by establishing prevention activities such as good purchasing and management practices; and, (3) raising national awareness of the problem. EPA intends to collect some information from Program Partners to further develop, implement, and improve the SC3 Program. Specifically, EPA would like to conduct an annual survey of organizations that partner with EPA under SC3, to learn about their experiences and needs under the Program. This will help EPA to evaluate and improve the Program and share information about the Program with others. In addition, EPA would like to convene three focus groups as part of an effort to gather feedback from stakeholders on the need for, and appropriate development and promotion of, a curriculum for pre-service teachers on responsible chemical management that can serve as a model for colleges and universities.
