The WA Department of Health (DOH) has created planning templates for schools to modify. They have started this process, with more to follow. The distinction between required and recommended is clearly noted on this template.
Additional guidance requests and support for the new rules:
- Healthy Air for Healthy Schools Handout
- Playground Safety in Warm Weather
- Safe Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidance for Schools
- K-12 Health & Safety Guide – updated Sept 2025
Planning Templates and Guidance will be coming soon for:
- ADA compliance in school playgrounds
- Lighting
- Noise
- Playground safety following a flooding event
- Mold in schools
