The National School Boards Association (NSBA) has partnered with the Go Green Initiative on an EPA-funded program to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG's) in low-income and Tribal school districts throughout all fifty states and U.S. Territories.
Each year ten (10) school districts will be chosen to receive on-the-ground technical assistance and $50,000 in grant funding to enact IAQ Management plans.
To be considered, school districts must be one of the following: (1) Tribal school district, (1) low-income urban district, or (1) low-income rural district; and meet one or more of the following criteria:

School Districts chosen to participate in this program will need to sign a Memorandum of Understanding that they will complete the following steps with the assistance of qualified staff from the EPA and Go Green Initiative:
-
Enact School Board Policy to address both IAQ Management and GHG Reduction
-
Complete baseline IAQ and GHG assessments
-
Key School District stakeholders complete training
-
Complete a plan to manage IAQ and reduce GHG emissions
-
Enact IAQ Management and GHG reduction plans Districtwide
-
Measure, quantify and report IAQ and GHG's after plan implementation
If you have any questions please contact Jill Buck, CEO Go Green Initiative, at jillbuck@gogreeninitiative.org.
Districts are eligible to apply even if they have conducted previous work on Indoor Air Quality or Greenhouse Gas Reduction. This program is designed to help school districts institutionalize and sustain ongoing IAQ and GHG Reduction efforts.
