The Pasadena (CA) Star-News (1/4) reports that California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced this week that "California schools can now apply for the inaugural Green Ribbon Award, which recognizes the nation's highest-performing environmentally-friendly" schools, noting that ED "unveiled the Green Ribbon Schools award in September. The program recognizes schools that save energy, reduce costs, feature environmentally sustainable learning spaces, protect health, foster wellness, and offer environmental education to boost academic achievement and community engagement." The Star-News characterizes the Green Ribbon program as part of ED's push for improved student achievement and workforce preparation.
