High-Performing Schools Facilities Act

June 16, 2008

By a vote of 250 to 164, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 21st Century Green High-Performing Public Schools Facilities Act earlier this month. The bill calls for $6.4 billion in funding for school renovation and modernization in fiscal 2009.  If enacted, it would require that the majority of funds allocated for school modernization be used on projects that meet widely recognized green building standards.   President Bush has indicated that he will veto the bill if it passes the Senate.
