Member Duties : Increase the School District’s (SDP) capacity to take on sustainability-related projects and increase the number of sustainability-related resources available through the ongoing SDP GreenFutures plan. This plan aims to make every school great and every school green through five focus areas: Education for Sustainability; Energy and Efficiencies; Consumption and Waste; School Greenscapes; and Healthy Schools and Healthy Living. The VISTA will guide the next iteration of GreenFutures by organizing and strengthening district-wide sustainability resources. The VISTA will help finalize and disseminate materials such as the Climate Resiliency Plan, School Greenscapes Resource Guide and Recycling Resource Guide to improve their clarity and accessibility for district offices. The VISTA will also improve systems for tracking and distributing sustainability tools, ensuring resources like the Lending Library and Eco-Schools Action Cards are easier to access and maintain for long-term use.
