District Green Team Moves to Step 5
& Accomplishes District Strategic Plan Goal 4.3
After several months of planning and implementing sustainable practices, the District Green Team recently submitted applications to obtain Sustainable Jersey Certification for all seven schools. On average, the schools completed over 20 actions for a minimum of 150 points and a chance to obtain bronze certification.
Some of the actions included:
- Adopting a Sustainability Policy
- Working with a School District Education Foundation
- Using Solar Panels
- Creating School Gardens
- Participating in the Arts
- Adopting a Safe Routes to School Policy
- Implementing Programs and Policies to Promote Physical Activity
- Supporting Pedestrian and Bike Safety
- Promoting Safe Driving Awareness
- Conducting Indoor Quality Air Reviews
- Ensuring Access to Healthy Water
- Implementing Sustainable Practices through the Curriculum
The District Green Team is still busy at work while they await feedback from Sustainable Jersey for Schools in late February.
