Starting this fall, 11th and 12th graders have the opportunity to learn about and experience managing natural resources in their local environment in a brand new course at Boulder TEC through BVSD’s Accelerate program. 

In an exciting new collaboration, University of Colorado Boulder (CU) graduate students will be working with District staff, environmental partners (state, local, private & non-profit), and community members, to develop a roadmap to decarbonization for District buildings in pursuit of our goals of an 80% reduction in emissions and carbon neutrality by 2050.

BVSD continues to make progress on the goals established in the Sustainability Action Plan. Staff provided an annual update to the Board recently in honor of Earth month. The district is in year three of a five-year effort towards its latest set of sustainability goals. BVSD has had a formal sustainability program with established goals since 2009.  

After nearly a full school year on hold, composting has slowly returned to school cafeterias this school year, to the excitement of many Boulder Valley School District students and staff.
