Resolution 2223R-007 was referred to the Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget. The Resolved portion of the resolution reads:
RESOLVED, that Milwaukee Public Schools join Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee by specifically adopting the international climate reduction targets, which includes the interim target of cutting greenhouse emissions by 45% by 2030; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, Milwaukee Public Schools join Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee in the planning and implementation of a community-wide climate action plan which meets the IPCC international greenhouse emissions reduction targets; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, Milwaukee Public Schools advocate for a community-wide Milwaukee climate action plan that uses the climate transition to dramatically improve economic equity, setting as a benchmark the Justice40 initiative being pursued by the Biden Administration which stipulates that 40% of all new climate benefits, including new jobs, go to residents of marginalized communities; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that Milwaukee Public Schools continue to dedicate staffing and resources to both promote climate justice education and to develop the climate action plan which includes educators, parents, and students in the process; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that Milwaukee Public Schools utilize the existing structures created by the Resolution 1920R-016 in 2020 whenever possible; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that Milwaukee Public Schools continue to seek the resources from federal and state government needed to undertake a large-scale energy conservation and renewable energy retrofit of all district-owned buildings, and do so in a way that creates green economy learning and career development opportunities for its students.
