Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Bowman -- a former public middle school teacher and principal, and lead sponsor of the Green New Deal for Public Schools Act -- said that "we live in the richest country in the world.
55% : "But the Get Toxic Substances Out of Schools Act would create dedicated federal resources to help make every public school a place where parents feel confident in their children's well-being, educators, and support staff feel safe enough to do their jobs, and students can focus on learning and growth."
40% : introduced by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.) and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) -- would amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to authorize grants for the remediation of contaminants in schools, where approximately 53 million children and six million adults spend a significant portion of their days, according to (pdf) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
