Summary: Roseville Area Schools has a 30 year history of implementing sustainability initiatives. However, this work was not communicated well to the community. Additionally, students have concerns about climate change imperiling the livability of their future if immediate action is not taken. Students and staff had a productive conversation about the climate crisis and how to respond to it as a school district. The decision was made to join MN GreenStep Schools.
