The Portland Public Schools (PPS) Board of Directors voted this week to approve a comprehensive climate crisis response policy! Let's send them a big thank you.

Thanks to robust advocacy efforts from climate, environmental, and community groups, legislators have passed an ambitious Climate Resilience Budget, which includes a broad range of meaningful investments to reduce pollution, transition to clean energy, and prioritize frontline communities across Oregon.

Portland Public Schools is poised to demonstrate leadership in addressing the climate crisis in the classroom, with the community, and within their organization’s own policies and practices.
