S.F. Green Schoolyard Alliance-Making Major Strides
(Fall, 2003)
Proposition A, the School Repair bond measure on the November ballot, included $2 million for greening schoolyards. The San Francisco Green Schoolyard Alliance (SFGSA) supports Proposition A and continues its commitment to create a culture of support and stewardship for outdoor learning environments in San Francisco schools. The Alliance 's efforts have resulted in some extremely important advances for the city 's emerging green schoolyard movement.
In 2003, the SFGSA has:
Secured $2 million of the $295 million proposed in Prop. A for greening 13 public elementary schoolyards.
Received approval from the City 's Commission on the Environment for a $17,000 Environmental Justice grant from San Francisco 's Department of the Environment to produce workshops at schools in Bayview-Hunters Point and Potrero Hill.
Continued development of their web-based resource library.
In addition, San Francisco Beautiful received a $10,000 grant from the Goldman Fund to support its dedicated involvement with the SFGSA.
