1 ED-GRS District Nominating Authority Application Thank you for your interest in completing the Massachusetts application for nomination to U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS). In order to complete this application, you will need to collect data about your school's facility, health and safety policies; food service; and environmental and sustainability curriculum. ED-GRS recognizes schools taking a comprehensive approach to greening their school. A comprehensive approach incorporates environmental learning with improving environmental and health impacts. Becoming a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School is a two-step process. The first step is to complete and submit this form to be selected as a nominee by Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE). The second step of the process requires signatures for the nominee package that will be sent to the U.S. Department of Education (ED). ED selects honorees from those presented by states and other eligible nominating authorities nationwide. Selection will be based on documentation of the applicant's high achievement in the three ED-GRS Pillars: Pillar I: Reduce environmental impact and costs. Pillar II: Improve the health and wellness of students and staff. Pillar III: Provide effective environmental and sustainability education, incorporating STEM, civic skills and green career pathways. Schools demonstrating exemplary achievement in all three Pillars will receive highest rankings. It is important to document concrete achievement. It will help you to assemble a team to complete the application. This team might include: a facilities manager, physical education director, food services director, curriculum director, finance department representatives, teachers and students. You should consult the ESE Green Ribbon Schools page for Massachusetts specific resources and the ED-GRS resources page for standards, programs and grants related to each Pillar, Element and question. This is an excellent clearinghouse of resources for all schools, not just those who apply. ESE encourages schools to reach out to the contacts provided if you are not able to provide documentation in certain areas. They are willing to assist you in compiling and accessing this information. The questions in this application will help you demonstrate your high achievement in these Pillars as well as provide space for you to include pertinent documentation. Applicants should be as comprehensive as possible. If the application does not touch upon a program or initiative that your school is participating in, please include further information. Please be advised applications must be under 20 pages. Massachusetts provided an appendix section for schools to submit additional documentation for the state level review (maximum of 5 pages). Applications are due to ESE by Monday, January 4, Applications may be sent electronically to Lauren Greene at lgreene@doe.mass.edu ( ) Note that if selected for nomination to ED-GRS, the district superintendent must be prepared to certify that each of the statements below concerning both the individual schools and overall district s eligibility and compliance with the following requirements is true.

Schools within the nominated public school district are not refusing the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR) access to information necessary to investigate a civil rights complaint or to conduct a district-wide compliance review. 4. OCR has not issued a violation letter of findings to the public school district concluding that any public schools within the nominated district have violated one or more of the civil rights statutes. A violation letter of findings will not be considered outstanding if OCR has accepted a corrective action plan to remedy the violation. 5. The U.S. Department of Justice does not have a pending suit alleging that schools within the public school district or the district as a whole have violated one or more of the civil rights statutes or the Constitution s equal protection clause. 6. There are no findings of violations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in a U.S. Department of Education monitoring report that apply to the schools within the district or the overall public school district in question; or, if there are such findings, the state or public school district has corrected, or agreed to correct, the findings. 7.
