The State of Connecticut is requiring that each local and regional board of education implement a
green cleaning program for all school buildings and facilities in its district.
GREEN CLEANING PROGRAM
Enfield Public Schools is committed to the implementation of this law by providing the staff and,
upon request, the parents and guardians of each child enrolled in each school with a written statement
of the school district’s green cleaning program, as well as making it available on its web site annually.
The administrative regulation will also be distributed to new staff hired during the school year and to
parents or guardians of students transferring in during the school year.
1. Green cleaning program means the procurement and proper use of environmentally preferable
cleaning products, as defined by the Department of Administrative Services (DAS), for all state
owned buildings, schools, and facilities. DAS currently requires that environmentally preferable
cleaning products be independently certified by one of two third party certified organizations:
Green Seal or Eco Logo
2. By July 1, 2011 and thereafter, no person shall use a cleaning product in a public school unless
it meets the DAS standard.
3. The types of cleaning products covered in this legislation include: general purpose, bathroom,
and glass cleaners, floor strippers and finishes, hand cleaners and soaps. The preferred green
cleaning products used by this school district are listed on Attachment “A”.
4. Disinfectants, disinfectant cleaners, sanitizers, or antimicrobial products regulated by the federal
insecticide, fungicide, and rodenticide act are not covered by this law.
The following statement will be part of this school district’s program as stated in the new law;
“NO PARENT, GUARDIAN, TEACHER, OR STAFF MEMBER MAY BRING INTO THE SCHOOL
FACILITY ANY CONSUMER PRODUCT WHICH IS INTENDED TO CLEAN, DEODORIZE, SANITIZE,
OR DISINFECT”
The implementation of this program requires the support and cooperation of everyone including
administrators, faculty, staff, parents, guardians, and facilities staff. Any questions concerning the
program can be directed to:
Town of Enfield, Building & Grounds at 860-253-6361.
