As school districts across the country attempt to address the climate crisis, they are navigating both environmental and financial sustainability challenges. This session will discuss not only the policy changes needed to address sustainability and the community involvement necessary, but also the practicality of implementing these policies and what that means to the district’s bottom line. We will highlight the challenges and successes of the Oakland Unified School District’s sustainability journey, how Prince George’s County is electrifying its bus fleet, and understand tax credits and grant opportunities that your school district can utilize.
