麻豆果冻传媒

Fourteen 麻豆果冻传媒 schools and McClaskey Adult Center were allocated bond funding for green school projects at an event at Rosemont High School Thursday night. 麻豆果冻传媒 launched Project Green this year to add a real-world application to classroom instruction about the environment and sustainable living. Campuses across the district were encouraged to form student 鈥済reen teams鈥� to conduct 鈥済reen audits鈥� of school facilities.With the help of teachers, parents and staff, the teams then drafted recommendations for green improvements ranging from replacing outdated windows to installing water-wise plumbing fixtures.

Students presented their recommendations to a panel of local experts from the fields of architecture, engineering, energy, land-use planning and water management in April. The panel judged the exhibits, using scoring rubrics. The team from Washington Elementary School scored highest for its presentation and report, which included a rationale for providing the school with automatic hand dryers, chicken coops, rain barrels, a 鈥渞estorative justice circle,鈥� upgraded irrigation, upgraded air conditioning and upgraded heating. The judging panel voted to allocate up to $550,000 for these projects. In all, the 15 presentations were allocated $5 million in bond funding.
