Best Practice 0.1 Green Team: Participating districts and schools form a green team made up of diverse roles and stakeholders.
Best Practice 0.1 Green Team: Participating districts and schools form a green team made up of diverse roles and stakeholders.
Participating districts and schools form a green team made up of stakeholder representatives. The committee is the core of the green schools process, both organizing and directing school greening activities. It should consist of the stakeholders of the district's and schools' environment: students, teachers, custodial staff, caretakers, parents, and administrators. One representative from the district's Green Team must be identified as a contact person for the program. There should be at least one representative from each participating school on the main green team. Schools may wish to have school-based work groups in addition to the district green team. The Green Team may want to use the communication support materials and other resources listed below and also those listed in the Best Practice 0.2.
