Healthy Schools for Montana Kids in partnership with Moms Clean Air Force and Montana Health Professionals for a Healthy Climate is hosting an educational webinar about the federal funding available for Montana schools to transition to cleaner transportation, air, and energy for our kids. This webinar is intended for all interested in championing these efforts for your kids, school districts, and neighborhoods with the focus being solar panels, electric school buses, HVAC upgrades, and energy efficiency.
The U.S. Department of Energy and EPA have announced first-of-its-kind grants to make clean energy improvements at K-12 public schools. Funds will position school districts to make upgrades that will lower facilities’ energy costs by thousands of dollars per year, provide sustainable transportation, and foster healthier learning environments for students.
This webinar will introduce these funding opportunities and how to apply. Hear from experts working to support these clean energy transitions and school representatives who have already successfully implemented clean energy upgrades, and ask how you can help your school and kids in Montana do the same.

Panelists: Woody Woodwick from Havre Public Schools, MT, Scott Reiter from Billings Public Schools, Matt Thompson of Ameresco, Steve Love of Charlo Schools, Andrea Swiatocha from the Dep. of Energy, Marisa McPhilliamy and Johnson Courtney with the EPA.
