Watch the video "The Fixer" to see how PTA parents, teachers and the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights used the Williams process to resolve such problems as mold, electrical hazards, decrepit bathrooms, dust encrusted air vents and other unhealthy conditions that had been neglected for years.

The Hero Award was created as an annual opportunity to tell the story of the 1937 TX School Explosion and to start conversations about the need to identify and eliminate chemical hazards and unhealthy conditions in today's schools.

The Hero Award is part of an ongoing campaign to promote conversations that bring 'safety' from the margins to the core of school curriculum and community culture. The goal is to strengthen parent involvement and community partnerships to establish the 21st century standards and safeguards that can protect children from deadly explosions, fires, chemical spills and toxic exposures.

Chemical Security is Community Security

What can I do if my school is unsafe?

Teachers who enforce safety rules not only avoid accidents in school but they give their students the skills and attitudes necessary to safeguard their future families and co-workers and "to live safer healthier longer lives."  (Jim Kaufman, Lab Safety Institute)

Safety and School Science Instruction

Parent Involvement in Science Learning



The world endures solely by virtue of the breath of school children. (Talmud)
