Plain-English Summary
The Green Ribbon Schools Program recognizes schools that excel in environmental sustainability, environmental education, and student health, and this bill would give states more resources and support to help more schools participate in and earn this recognition. The expanded program would help schools across the country adopt greener practices, teach students about environmental issues, and create healthier learning environments. Students, teachers, and school administrators would benefit from increased funding and technical assistance to make their schools more environmentally friendly.
