1:15 pm-2:30 pm Energy-Efficiency Makes for Successful Bond Campaigns Tis dynamic team of experienced professionals will show you how districts throughout the state are structuring facilities bond campaigns to highlight energy efficiency projects. Tis is helping achieve voter support and the successful passage of a bond. From energy retrofits to solar and other alternative energy sources, today’s green projects can help you garner community support for your facilities bond campaign. Jared Boigon, Partner at TBWB Strategies, located in San Francisco, has worked with districts throughout California to prepare and shape successful campaigns. Kathleen J. McKee, partner at Fa- gen Friedman & Fulfrost and a member of the Green Califor- nia Schools Summit Advisory Board, will provide an approach for evaluating which energy projects are the right ones for your district. Ms. McKee works with districts of all sizes and wide ranging energy needs and goals to help them design programs and contracts that meet their needs.

3:00 pm-4:00 pm Local Leaders in Sustainability - Greening Schools from the Inside and Across Boundaries We know that the average school is 42 years old, and energy inefficiencies cost it approximately $100,000 a year, money that could be better spent on teachers, education materials, books or computers. We know that more than 15,000 schools have air that is deemed unfit to breathe. With all the constraints on budgets, how do you ensure that schools are “greened” holisti- cally? Come hear some of the answers through the work of two sustainability leaders that are working through the Sacramento City Unified and Lucia Mar Unified School Districts. Teir strategies and plans go beyond just looking at the buildings themselves by engaging community partners, coordinating staff and student outreach, and helping to institutionalize sustainability in the long-term vision of their respective dis- tricts. Crossing boundaries is imperative to building strength and support for sustainable healthy schools. In May 2011,
