The goal of the Green Schools for All proposal is to provide LAUSD students with outdoor learning areas, which research suggests can benefit students' well-being.
. It calls on the superintendent’s office to formulate a plan that meets several criteria:
Prioritize schools with the lowest green spaces/access to green spaces and in communities most affected by extreme heat and climate change Emphasize greening in early education centers, primary centers, and elementary schools, where outdoor play is a staple of the school day, with a special focus on elementary schools with 10 percent or less in green space
Develop the plan in collaboration with environmental experts, community-based partners, educators, students, and families, and include future opportunities for community input as specific site plans are put together.plan is set to also remove portable classrooms to create 2,000 square feet of natural shaded spaces at 150 schools identified in LAUSD’s Green Index.
The board gave Superintendent Alberto Carvalho until late February to deliver details on implementation.. The board tasked Carvalho's office with analyzing how that and other already available money might be applied toward the Green Schools for All initiative.
