The jury named one Grand Award winner and one Honorable Mention in the K-12/School Districts category. One Grand Award winner, one Silver Award winner and five Honorable Mentions were chosen in the Higher Education category.   Judging criteria were based on the comprehensiveness and quality of the program, and how well each education institution followed the steps as outlined in the second edition of The Quick & Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools. This year's winners show how much one education institution, district or campus can accomplish—and how it can improve in measurable ways.   All About Green Visit American School & University's green section for the latest articles on green design, construction, products and more.   Current and Past Green Cleaning Award Winners
