It is the policy of the Seattle School Board that the District wisely manage the use of natural resources and maintain programs that support conservation of energy and other natural resources. The goal of this policy is to create and maintain sustainable, healthy school environments through a long-term resource management plan.  

Seattle Public Schools will model environmental stewardship by instituting a resource conservation management plan, to:  

• Reduce the use of energy, water, and other natural resources and encourage recycling  
• Educate students, teachers, and staff about the importance of conserving natural resources  
• Lessen environmental damage attributable to natural resources consumption.
