The bill establishes a voluntary Washington state green schools program aimed at promoting resource conservation practices in public schools while providing educational and leadership opportunities for students. The program will focus on various conservation efforts, including waste reduction, energy conservation, and urban forestry education, and will be funded through revenues from the climate commitment act. The initiative seeks to enhance existing resource conservation programs and support schools that may not currently have access to such resources.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for a stipend assistance program administered by the office of the superintendent of public instruction. This program will provide financial support to school-based advisors who facilitate student involvement in resource conservation practices, with a focus on schools where over 50% of students qualify for free and reduced-price meals. Stipend funds will be capped at $600 per school per year, depending on the number of applicants and available funding, while allowing districts to supplement these funds as needed.
