Schools and Elective Pay

This page has not been updated since the President signed the latest federal budget reconciliation bill into law on July 4, 2025. For updates, visit this page.

We are coordinating a national campaign to support schools to leverage energy tax credits and Elective Pay to make progress toward reliable, cost-effective healthier school buildings for our most vulnerable students.

To date, we’ve reached education leaders in 38 of 50 states and have identified over 400 school infrastructure modernization projects that are eligible for energy tax credits.

States across the country are starting to understand and help catalyze this opportunity for schools.

We collaborated with the Maryland Commission on School Construction and Maryland Energy Administration to lead a session on IRA for Maryland school business officials. We also worked with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Forward Together Wisconsin to co-host a webinar for their state’s school facilities community.
