 The USGBC Central Texas – Balcones Chapter, in partnership with AIA Austin's Committee on the Environment (AIA COTE), are proud to present the Third Annual Green School Symposium.
20% of America goes to school every day. Too many of these students and teachers attend schools that are inefficient and miss opportunities to reduce operational costs, foster learning, and protect student health. Green Schools cost less to operate, freeing up resources to truly improve students' education. Across the United States, school districts, large and small are realizing the benefits of green schools.
