amsan1 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:27:00 GMT

Score Report is a school based organization that offers districts and campuses an opportunity to achieve green cleaning certification by engaging in SCORE, a cost‐managed curriculum designed to address the considerable challenges surrounding cleaning school buildings today. The program encompasses the use of eco‐sensitive products and procedures along with a full and comprehensive training program that raises awareness and promotes health and safety of everyone involved.

Green Cleaning and Cleaning for Human Health go hand in hand. The prudent selection and application of disinfectants are a critical component to SCORE and all members receive comprehensive training on the Principles of Disinfection.

Is Your School Green? Take the "SCORE" Challenge

amsan1 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:26:00 GMT

Dear Fellow School Officials:

Connecticut and Maryland have joined a growing list of states that have passed into law legislation similar to that already in place in Illinois and New York that mandates green cleaning in elementary and secondary schools. At the present, there are a total of 17 states that have already adopted a green cleaning procurement policy of one nature or another. Education leaders throughout the country are grappling with the realities that come with the understanding that the status quo is unacceptable in addressing custodial operations going forward.

In Illinois the state invited the Schools of Illinois Public Cooperative (SIPC) and our sustainable building consultant, Jim Sheffer, to join a select group of individuals and organizations entrusted with the task of drafting guidelines and specifications for the purpose of implementing the Illinois Green Cleaning School Act. The final version of the guidelines and specifications set forth a series of required and recommended practices to improve the health and environment of elementary and secondary schools in Illinois.

School Cleaning Organizational Redesign for the Environment (SCORE) was developed by Mr. Sheffer to offer school districts, community colleges, and universities opportunity to engage in a coordinated cost management curriculum designed to address the considerable challenges surrounding cleaning school buildings today: declining budgets, staff turnover, and ever demanding governmental regulations fueled by increased public health awareness. SCORE encompasses the use of eco-sensitive products and procedures along with full and comprehensive matrix and training components that raise awareness and promotes the health and safety of everyone involved. The program is self-funded with the purchase of eco-sensitive products procured from AmSan with pricing reflective of that negotiated by the Schools of Illinois Public Cooperative.

I beg you to ask the question, “IS YOUR SCHOOL GREEN”. If not, take the SCORE challenge.

Respectfully,
Dr. Kevin SettleSIPC Chairman

Brilliant fall foliage reflects off of a pond at a pull-off area in Northern New Hampshire. Fog and coming twilight soften and enhance the colors.

North Country Fly-Fishing Workshop June 6-7, 2009

AskLisa — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:42:00 GMT

Need an excuse to visit beautiful northern New Hampshire? Have you been thinking about learning how to fly fish? If so, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department's "Let's Go Fishing" Program and the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation have a perfect opportunity for you. "Fly Fishing: The North Country Experience" is a beginning fly-fishing weekend offered June 6 and 7, 2009, at Coleman State Park in Stewartstown, N.H. This free course will give you the chance to learn about the traditional and timeless sport of fly-fishing.

To sign up, print out and return a registration form, which can be found on the Fish and Game website at http://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/lets_go_fishing_class_schedule.htm.
Registration forms can also be obtained by calling Lisa Collins at (603) 271-3212 or emailing aquatic-ed@wildlife.nh.gov. Registration forms must be received by May 29, but sign up early because class space is limited; registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will be notified within two weeks before the workshop if they are registered. The class is open to anyone age 13 and over, however those 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Designed primarily for first-time fly-fishers, the workshop will cover the basics of equipment, fly casting, stream ecology, knot tying, safety and how to find those "hot spots" along New Hampshire's rivers and lakes. The highlight of the two days will be Sunday, when we'll pull on waders and head out to Little Diamond Pond to put our newly learned skills to the test! Participants should plan to bring their own or borrowed equipment. A limited number of rods will be available for use; please let Fish and Game know (state on the registration form) if you will need to borrow equipment.

Important note about accommodations: Non-local participants are expected to make their own arrangements for overnight accommodations; camping is available by reservation at Coleman State Park, and motels and lodges are also available in the area.

Over the past ten years, the Fish and Game Department's "Let's Go Fishing" program has taught thousands of children and adults to be safe, ethical and successful anglers. The program is federally funded through the Sport Fish Restoration Program. For more about the Let's Go Fishing program, visit http://www.fishnh.com/Fishing/lets_go_fishing.htm.

The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department works to conserve, manage and protect the state's fish and wildlife and their habitats, as well as providing the public with opportunities to use and appreciate these resources. Visit http://www.fishnh.com.
