Plain-English Summary

The proposal would invest federal funding to make public schools more environmentally sustainable by upgrading buildings with energy-efficient systems, renewable energy sources, and green infrastructure while also creating jobs in construction and green technology sectors. Students, teachers, and school staff would benefit from healthier school buildings with improved air quality and lower utility costs, while construction workers and clean energy companies would gain employment opportunities from the renovation projects.
