District Collaborative — The Green Schools Alliance

GSA District Collaborative

The Green Schools Alliance District Collaborative is a council of public school districts, represented by their district sustainability professionals, working together to harness the collective power of schools to support greener, more efficient solutions.

The Collaborative is comprised of 27 U.S. school districts - 9 of which are the 14 largest districts in the country. Collectively, these districts affect the lives of 4+ million children in 6,088 schools with more than 600 million square feet of building area.

The mission of the District Collaborative is to leverage the collective knowledge, experience, and influence of its members to accelerate the implementation of sustainability principles that incorporate sound environmental, economic, and equitable decisions in schools.

The District Collaborative enables district sustainability leaders to:
