The bill amends Chapter 69 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding Section 37, which establishes the Green School Works Program. This competitive grant program aims to provide financial support to K-12 public schools and districts for projects that install or maintain clean energy infrastructure. The program is designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and mitigate climate change impacts, with a focus on schools serving low-income and environmental justice populations. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will administer the program in consultation with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Technology Center, and grants will be awarded based on established eligibility and selection criteria.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner of DESE report annually, by July 15, to various legislative committees on the grants awarded in the previous fiscal year, detailing the grant amounts, recipients, project descriptions, and progress on project completion. The report aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the program's implementation. The bill also includes provisions for the establishment of regulations to facilitate the program's operation, ensuring compliance with relevant procurement laws and building codes.
