A new group who is concerned about how BVSD is implementing their "Green" initiatives relating to last year's 3A bond for capital improvements is taking them to task. This kind of oversight is important and we hope you, our readers, will assist this group by paying attention to what is going on in your local neighborhood school, and reporting back to them and us what you see as unfulfilled promises. Don't let any of the money promised to your school slip away. Pay attention and ask questions.

Here is a statement from this new group: 

Greening Boulder Valley Schools
 
A group of parents, teachers, administrators and concerned citizens has come together because we believe that BVSD’s capital improvement program (which will renovate many of our schools with funds from last year’s bond measure) is not living up to the language of the bond. The measure calls for “implementing cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient design and construction strategies.”
 
While most of the projects incorporate green elements, trade-offs between necessary improvements, such as classroom space, and green features, such as high performance windows, have meant that many green features have been dropped from school wish lists.
