A "how to" resource package that describes how to implement an IAQ Management Plan is available from the EPA. This packet called Indoor Air Quality Tools for Schools prepared by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was endorsed by The American Federation of Teachers, Association of School Business Officials International, the Council for American Private Education, The National Education Association, The National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the American Lung Association.

To implement a comprehensive indoor air quality program, school districts should also follow the technical guidelines found in the Texas Department of Health's Voluntary Indoor Air Quality Guidelines for Public Schools.
