Sustainability principles are adopted and demonstrated.
Sustainability principles are applied to the design, construction, and renewal of school buildings, including innovative financial models. Schools structures and outdoor spaces are “facilities that teach” sustainability practices.
Sustainability principles apply to all aspects of school management, procurement, and resource use. Sustainability principles apply to transportation decisions. Audit tools are used to assess impacts and improve eficiencies.
Schools involve parents and community with ESD initiatives.
• Parents and community are actively engaged to address local sustainability issues through community projects and partnerships.
Cooperative education supports ESD partnerships with the community. Opportunities exist to engage parents and the community in the practice of ESD principles. At SEdA Education Leader Seminars, participants were encouraged to return to their divisions as a small team and lead change toward integrating sustainability into virtually everything the or...

Developing an SSP may seem a bit daunting at first. Be sure to remember that any school can start small, with just one priority issue, and build from there. Don’t attempt to tackle too much at once. If you invest too much time in planning, you may lose energy for implementing and reviewing.
