California may be the next state to bring green cleaning to schools, following the lead of New York and Illinois. In April, the Green Schools: Environmentally Sensitive Cleaners act (Assembly Bill 2808) was approved by the education subcommittee. It will now be going through appropriations and then to the full assembly. You can track this bill on the California Legislative Information site.
