Summary Date: 04/09/25 \ Circulation Deadline: 10/06/25 \ Signatures Required: 546,651
Proponent(s): Dale McClure
Requires all K-12 public schools, including charter schools, to provide students with thirty hours of education, training, and hands-on learning relating to sustainability or care of the Earth, every two years. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Costs likely not exceeding the low tens of millions of dollars during initial implementation, then declining over time, for public schools to purchase materials and make adjustment to their science lessons. The costs would vary based on the degree to which schools already cover environmental sustainability topics and provide hands-on learning activities. (25-0001.)
