Exciting news! 🎉 Senator @JoshBeckerSV has introduced the State Seal of Climate Literacy Act (SB 1048) to establish a California Seal of Climate Literacy, a voluntary high school diploma distinction to recognize students who demonstrate climate literacy through coursework and hands-on, experiential learning in their communities.
Let’s recognize students who are ready to lead in a changing climate. 🌏🎓

Drawing on data collected by @UndauntedK12, we show that over 8 million students experienced school disruptions in the 24-25 school year due to extreme weather.

Minnesota is nearing 400 solar-powered schools, and @MNCommerce is about to award its 200th #SolarForSchools grant! The program is projected to save schools $46M over 20 years while giving students hands-on learning opportunities. Next funding round expected Feb. 2027.

Every child should be able to learn and thrive in a safe, healthy school. The latest GAO report highlights an urgent crisis regarding the impact of school facilities and grounds and the impact on learning. Read it here: gao.gov/products/gao-26-1079…
How do you modernize two nearly century-old schools with no AC, uneven heat, and poor ventilation? Winona Area Public Schools used Minnesota’s facilities financing plus a $5.5M federal tax credit to make it happen.
This project offers a helpful framework for other districts exploring ground-source heat pumps, or dealing with aging heating systems, rising needs for cooling and ventilation, and limited options for financing major facilities work.

Too hot to concentrate. Too hot to be safe at practice. Too hot to learn. In a new @TIME op-ed, @jonathanklein42 of @UndauntedK12 and I explore what extreme heat means for students and what schools can do about it.

Lawmakers are now debating whether to spend the leftover interest on an unrelated energy program — instead of finishing the job schools were promised. cal.news/4x053U5

Hundreds of thousands of students ended this school year with dangerous heat, canceled classes, and classrooms that were too hot to learn in.
Extreme heat is arriving earlier, lasting longer, and increasingly affecting students both at the end of the school year and when they return in the fall.
Schools need investment in climate-resilient infrastructure, and extreme heat protocols to keep student safe and healthy year round.
We're proud to support @scientistsorg's State & Local Heat Policy Agenda, which outlines the actions state and local leaders must take to better protect students, families, workers, and communities from the growing threat of extreme weather.

Unused land. Lower costs. More resources for students.
A great example of schools turning underutilized land into long-term savings and resilience. Schoharie Central School District (NY) converted an unused field into a solar array expected to power the district for the next 20 years—freeing up more resources for students while reducing energy costs.
And kudos to the student, state, and school leaders who made it happen! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/ce…

During this week’s heat wave, some students are learning in air-conditioned classrooms for the first time. At Ida Public Schools in Michigan, students have had cooler, healthier classrooms since this fall thanks to HVAC upgrades using ground-source heat pumps — completed without relying on an available capital budget, and earning federal energy tax credits.
Learn how your district can do the same:

Milwaukee Public Schools is rolling out electric school buses this fall! ~6K students will ride 50 new electric buses daily, with the fleet scaling to 150 over the next three years. Each bus replaces a diesel vehicle, cutting emissions in neighborhoods and near schools. wispolitics.com/2026/milwauk…
