Superintendent says district will pursue Clean Green Schools Initiative grant up to $10 million
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Antonio Abitabile said the district will apply for Clean Green Schools Initiative funding (single-building awards up to $5M, multi-building up to $10M) and plans to include on-the-job training services for students in the application.
Superintendent Dr. Antonio Abitabile told the Board the district plans to apply for competitive funding through the Clean Green Schools Initiative to modernize buildings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Dr. Abitabile described eligible projects as "comprehensive retrofits, electrification readiness projects, and conversion of central heating and cooling plants to heat pumps," and said a single building project can receive up to $5 million while a multiple building project can receive up to $10 million.
Dr. Abitabile added, "We are optimistic and intend to include Jen Nelson’s on the job training services for students as part of our application." He told the Board the application is due in August and that the district will pursue CHArch support and a grant writer to assist with the submission.
