AL GORE PRAISES LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT'S CLIMATE LITERACY EDUCATION
In February 2022, the Board approved the Climate Literacy resolution, which aims to enact a comprehensive Climate Literacy program for Los Angeles Unified schools in order to help address the escalating climate crisis that is increasingly endangering Southern California, our nation, and our planet. In December 2019, the Board approved the Clean Energy resolution, that commits Los Angeles Unified to 100 percent clean, renewable energy by 2040. We are so honored to be leading these efforts! |
