'As we deal with a devastating climate crisis caused by decades of unchecked corporate greed, we need to center our children and their future.'
"As we deal with a devastating climate crisis caused by decades of unchecked corporate greed, we need to center our children and their future," said Bowman, who was a public school principal in the Bronx prior to his successful 2020 congressional bid.
;“Today, I;’m introducing the Green New Deal for Public Schools.\n\nWe can and we must address the climate crisis while rebuilding our school infrastructure to meet every child's needs.\n\nLet's go! \n\nhttps://t.co/6s6DCgD5kg;�ording to a summary released by Bowman's office, the new bill would upgrade every public school building in the country and hire hundreds of thousands of additional educators and support staff.
Climate Capital Facilities Grants will fully fund healthy green retrofits for the highest-need third of schools, as measured by the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, and offer a mix of grant funding and no- or low-interest loans for the middle and top thirds. Grants will cover two-thirds and one-third of retrofit costs for these schools, respectively.Resource Block Grants will fund staffing increases, expanded social service programming, and curriculum development at high-need schools.
"As we navigate the ever-growing climate crisis and school buildings that are ill-equipped to deal with it," said Weingarten, "we find ourselves with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to meet the moment, and ensure all our students can learn in schools where they can drink clean water, breathe clean air, and be free from mold and broken windows."
