Clean Green Schools Initiative
Creating Healthier Learning and Teaching Environments
NYSERDA’s Clean Green Schools Initiative provides assistance to public schools that traditionally lack resources to invest in infrastructure improvements and clean energy equipment. Reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions creates healthier learning environments, saves money for school districts, and models sustainability for the next generation.
A portion of this program is being funded through the historic $4.2 billion Clean Water, Clean Air, and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act of 2022 
. Funding is available to support a range of planning and technical assistance activities as well as the installation of equipment that substantially reduce energy use.
