Activity 2

Sustainable jersey and the new jersey school boards association (njsba) are working together on a sustainability certification program called sustainable jersey for schools designed specifically for new jersey public school districts and charter schools. This program will provide support student achievement through safe and healthy school environments, identify concrete actions that schools can implement to be certified in the program, provide clear guidance for school leaders and tools to enable schools to make progress on each certification action, and identify cost savings and provide access to grants and funding opportunities. The voluntary program will provide a roadmap for what to do, as well as a comprehensive package of tools, guidance materials, and training and financial incentives to support and reward progress. It will offer one stop shopping with a full menu of sustainable actions. Each school will be required to complete a balanced package of sustainability actions in order to achieve certification. Sustainable jersey entered into a master services agreement with the college of new jersey to receive ongoing services and facilitate certain sustainable jersey grants. As part of the ongoing services received, it is estimated that the college of new jersey donated $214,541 in contributions and expenses related to the school certification program.

Activity 3

The goal of this program is to develop a network of regional resiliency coordinators. The network will serve as a bridge between communities and the broader world of public and private resource organizations. The network will help municipalities become more resilient in the long term; connect municipalities with resources and help resource organizations deploy assets; and coordinate and develop new policies, programs, and tools to meet unmet needs. To accomplish this goal, staff contact every new jersey municipality and offer technical support related planning for resiliency, and identify available resources and ensure that local governments are able to take advantage of them. Similarly, when resource organizations are looking for appropriate local partners for their programs, the network will know the turf and the players, and be able expedite new initiatives and pilots. They also identify and prioritize local needs and work to focus the efforts of direct service, policy, and research organizations and develop sustainable jersey climate adaptation actions based on input from the network. Sustainable jersey entered into a master services agreement with the college of new jersey to receive ongoing services and facilitate certain sustainable jersey grants. As part of the ongoing services received, it is estimated that the college of new jersey donated $181,534 in contributions and expenses related to the sandy recovery & resiliency program.
