This is our work to compile recommendations for federal legislation, executive actions, and regulatory actions aligned with climate-resilient schools, equity, and future-ready students. These recommendations offer the Biden-Harris Administration an opportunity to address nationwide concern about transmission of COVID in schools, to create millions of well-paying jobs in every community, and to propel our schools and their communities on a path to a just and clean energy future.
