The bill aims to promote resource conservation practices in Washington's public schools by establishing a voluntary green schools program that encourages student involvement and leadership. It recognizes the importance of educating students about environmental issues and intends to fund the program through revenues from the climate commitment act. The program will focus on various conservation practices, including waste reduction, energy conservation, and urban forestry education, while also providing opportunities for students to engage in these initiatives.

Additionally, the bill establishes a stipend assistance program for school-based advisors to support the implementation of resource conservation practices. The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction will administer this program, prioritizing schools with a high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price meals. Schools participating in the green schools program can apply for stipend funds, which will not exceed $600 per school per year, to help facilitate student-led conservation efforts. The bill emphasizes collaboration with the Department of Natural Resources and aims to enhance educational experiences related to environmental sustainability.
