Designating a Living Schoolyard Month

A.C.R. 128 designates May as Living Schoolyard Month. A.C.R. 128 urges the state Department of Education, schools, and country offices of education to prioritize construction and design of green school spaces, as well as to integrate these spaces into standards-based curricula. The resolution also recognizes that the Living Schoolyard Month, in conjunction with the instructional School Gardens Program, encourages schools to increase on-campus green spaces, such as school gardens, to improve the overall quality of student life.
