Through the Climate Action Committee, the district will:

1. Maintain sustained attention on climate and sustainability goals.

2. Strengthen alignment between operational practices and district values. 

3. Increase transparency and community engagement.

4. Celebrate and publicize sustainability successes across FUSD
