An Act establishing a green and healthy schools working group and implementation plan

This bill creates a Green and Healthy Schools Working Group to develop a plan for making all school buildings in Massachusetts healthier and more energy-efficient by 2050. The group will include representatives from various state agencies and will consult with educators, parents, and community members through public listening sessions to gather input. Based on its findings, the working group will recommend specific standards and a division of responsibilities for renovating existing schools and constructing new ones to ensure safe, sustainable learning environments. State agencies will then be tasked with implementing and enforcing these standards according to a timeline that includes five-year progress benchmarks.
