The Problem

Although Fremont Union High School District is green-forward, the district has not complied with State Bill 1383 which mandates organizations, including schools to compost organic waste. Moreover, several schools within the district lack any climate curriculum teaching contrary to AB 285 --- this resolution would work to implement AP Environmental Science within all 5 FUHSD Schools, create a composting system, and increase climate awareness within students. Therefore, we have created a climate action resolution that will be presented to the Fremont Union High School District Board on December 9th. To raise awareness about this issue, we have created a support letter with over 120 signatures from parents, teachers, and students that have been sent to the board. We've also been able to garner support from approximately 15 organizations in support of this policy, including Sierra Club, Ten Strands, Climate Action California, Citizens' Climate Lobby, and many more!

Our Plan

On December 9th, we presented to the FUHSD board --- item 12.1 as Climate Action #2526-11. This policy was unanimously passed by the board!
