“Etude pour les constructeurs” 1950 Fernand Leger

On the day when voters in many states are presented with school bond referenda we select a representative sample of a tax-free bond issue.  We also review public consultation invitations by ANSI-accredited and finance industry consortia involved in the cost of US education communities

Today we walk-through state level adaptations of the consensus products of ANSI-accredited standards setting organizations incorporated by reference into state safety and sustainability regulations of education communities.

Today we examine standards-setting activity of non-profit trade associations that set academic standards; with specific interest in how these organizations reference other organizations that set standards for the built environment.
