The Climate Change Action Plan Ad Hoc Committee of Prince George's County Public Schools convened on April 23, 2025, with a focus on student-led initiatives aimed at addressing climate change. Committee Chair Pamela Buser Struthers opened the meeting, emphasizing the importance of the committee's work during Earth Day week and highlighting the involvement of students in the agenda.
The meeting featured presentations from students who are members of the committee, showcasing their efforts and ideas for sustainability within the school district. This student engagement marks a significant step in fostering youth leadership in environmental issues, aligning with the district's broader goals for climate action.
Director of Sustainability, Dorothy Morrison, was recognized to present a report, although technical difficulties briefly interrupted the flow. The committee adopted the meeting agenda and approved minutes from the previous meeting without objections, indicating a smooth start to the proceedings.
The discussions are expected to pave the way for actionable strategies that not only enhance educational experiences but also contribute to the district's commitment to sustainability. As the committee continues its work, the involvement of students is likely to inspire further initiatives and community engagement in climate action efforts.
