The program is currently cost-free for qualifying schools. Principals are expected to sign a Memorandum of Agreement. Criteria for selection include:
- school location in a DOHMH-designated high asthma prevalence area (zip code);
- recognizable air quality problems–particularly traffic-related,
- geographic proximity to or a cooperative relationship with another school already in the AFSZ program, and
- a motivated school administration.
Schools interested in the AFSZ program should contact the AFSZ office at 212-533-6615 or by email.
