Given that tomorrow is Earth Day, I thought this April 28, 7-8:30 Facebook
forum might interest some of you. All over the state and country,
districts & charter public schools are finding to reduce their carbon
footprint, save money and increase learning. St Paul Public Schools will
spent more than $500 million over the next 5 years on its school buildings.
The forum is co-sponsored by several community and educator groups.
Questions were developed by St Paul students, educators, parents and
community members. The forum will be livestreamed on Facebook, here

*Potentially historic April 28 SPPS School Board Candidate Forum*
*will focus on solar energy & environment*
An April 28, 2021 7-8:30 PM school board candidate forum will focus on how
greater energy efficiency in the St Paul Public Schools can produce
multiple benefits for students, taxpayers and the environment. The forum
will explore candidates’ views on the use of solar and other
environmentally friendly forms of energy. Six candidates have agreed to
participate in the forum, which is being co-sponsored by Saint Paul 350,
East Side Freedom Library, the Saint Paul Federation of Educators (SPFE),
the West Side Community Organization (WSCO), and the Center for School
Change. As the district is planning to spend more than $100 million/year
over the next five years on school facilities
<https://www.spps.org/Page/22595> this seems like an appropriate time for
this discussion. The forum will include questions from SPPS students,
parents, educators and community members. It will be livestreamed on
Facebook, here
