Article and calendar listings (Short article - 574 words) Greening Schools for the Golden State: Now in its sixth year, the annual Green California Schools Summit and Exposition will take place at the Pasadena Convention Center on September 27 and 28, 2012. Developed under the leadership of an Advisory Board chaired by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and State Architect Chet Widom, the Summit is the state’s largest annual gathering of green school leaders. Through an Expo with over 100 companies offering green products and services, a full educational program of workshops and concurrent sessions, and special events like its annual Leadership Awards, the Summit offers two days of total immersion in all aspects of green schools. In schools across California, energy efficiency upgrades, renewable energy programs and green building techniques are putting significant savings back into school districts’ general funds. At the same time, school gardens, recycling programs and green curricula are proliferating. Green schools are becoming the norm in California, and are fostering a culture of sustainability among students, faculty and communities. Educational Opportunity Green Curriculum Institute Two Summits at Once While the two conferences will each have their own education programs, attendees who register for educational sessions at one event will have access to the sessions, workshops and panels at both Summits. General session speakers will include Henry AJ Ramos, a member of the Board of Governors for the California Community Colleges system. Leadership Awards “It’s remarkable that in good times and bad, and across the political spectrum, Californians remain committed to environmental preservation,” said Smith. “We won’t achieve our long-term goals without help and leadership from today’s students, and this Summit is intended to support the growth of programs and facilities that can inspire and engage them.” Keynotes and exhibit hall are free.
