School Inspections

School Inspections

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH), Bureau of Environmental Health, Indoor  Environments Section houses the School Environmental Health Program.  


This program works to improve the environmental health of Ohio’s schools through  both regulatory and non-regulatory means. The Ashtabula County Health  Department inspects approximately 30 schools on an annual basis. During these  inspections, Registered Sanitarians identify health and safety conditions and  sanitation practices within the school environment that may pose a threat to  students and staff.  Items which are focal points during a typical inspection of the school environment include indoor air quality, proper storage and handling of  hazardous chemicals, pest control and pesticide use, playground safety,  communicable disease prevention and practices, proper food handling in kitchens  and cafeterias, and general fire and electrical safety.  Sanitarians also work closely  with school administrators and school nurses and make them aware of public health  concerns identified in a school building. 


School kitchens are licensed and inspected in the Food Service Program.

Children With Medical Handicaps information

The child must be under the age of 21 years and be an Ohio resident.  The diagnostic workup must be completed by an approved BCMH provider. To locate a BCMH provider please call (440) 576-6010 option #2 and ask to speak to a nurse.

THE TREATMENT PROGRAM
