In 2022, The Benton-Franklin Health District announced the creation of the first School Environmental Health & Safety Program in Benton and Franklin counties. The objective of this program is to promote school safety and support all public, private, and parochial K-12 schools by:

  • Overseeing plan reviews for new and existing school construction projects.
  • Implementing periodic school health & safety inspections.
  • Offering consultations to school administration on risk reduction.
  • Providing educational resources on school environmental health & safety.
