Clark County Public Health’s School Health and Safety Program works in collaboration with local K-12 public, private and parochial schools to ensure environmental health standards are met. This work is done through routine food safety inspections, plan review of school construction projects, responding to notifications by concerned members of the public and working with school representatives through educational based environmental health assessments.
