Featuring: Porterville Unified School District
Schools play an often overlooked role in addressing climate change. Join us to learn about an innovative partnership between Porterville Unified School District and nonprofit Climate Action Pathway for Schools, where paid student interns are developing projects that have reduced the district’s energy costs by $850,000 and greenhouse gas emissions by 24 percent in the first two years. Together, the partners have raised over $9 million for related facility upgrades through state and federal grants. Learn how your district can save money, seek facility funding, and provide high-quality college and career programs for students.
