Regents’ Approval of Statewide Climate Education Requirement is Welcome News (Albany, N.Y.) Statewide climate education, approved by the New York Board of Regents, will ensure that kindergarten through 12th grade students are given the opportunity to learn about the causes, impacts, and solutions to the climate crisis....The requirement will go into effect in the 2027-2028 school year beginning with grades 5-12 and grades K-4 in the 2028-29 school year. New York joins New Jersey in becoming the second state in the nation to require cross curricular K-12 climate education.

Let's work to add Rhode Island to the list!

Amazing! WRWC and MEO have teamed up to implement an EJ curriculum across the state for k-12. We are still working on it but should be out for a test drive next year. Anyone interested in sharing with your youth please let me know.  😀
