Sustainability

The City Schools sustainability plan identifies the key areas that City Schools will focus on in the coming years. The plan is tied to the district’s Blueprint for Success and the sustainability policy and is an important part of making our schools engaging, exciting, and healthy places to teach and learn. Read below for resources related to each goal in the plan. Together, we can make Baltimore a cleaner, greener place to learn, work, and live.  For questions or more information, contact green@bcps.k12.md.us.
