City of Fairfax Schools earned third place in the Virginia School Boards Association's (VSBA) Green Schools Challenge, a friendly competition designed to encourage implementation of specific environmental policies and practical actions that reduce the carbon emissions generated by both the local school division and the broader community.
Nine category winners were selected from 40 entries and were recognized at the VSBA Annual Convention held in Williamsburg. The City schools were also awarded a gold certificate for earning 'green points'.
