This time, it's a 2009 Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools Excellence Award, given to five school districts nationwide in 2009; one of them this year is North Penn.

"The district applied for the award based on the program that we've established for the district to monitor and correct IAQ issues. The EPA liked the Scorecard idea, and called it innovative," said John Strobel, NPSD's Manager of Support Services.

That scorecard is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Tools for Schools principles and gives ratings to random air samples taken in late August at each district school, to help keep an eye on each school for any pending indoor air quality issues.
