In Creighton, Arizona, the school district took a holistic, “triangle” approach to its clean energy projects that will lower energy costs, keep students safer, and help the climate. After hearing that funding opportunities through the IRA could help cover 40 percent of solar costs, Creighton School District jumped on the opportunity and added the installation of solar panels to their list of projects—along with tree plantings and shade structures. In planning, the district made a distinct effort to emphasize environmental stewardship and incorporate climate science into its curriculum, along with the updated energy systems to help protect students from intense heat and save the district money from skyrocketing utility bills.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $300 million in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants to 34 Tribal nations and territories. These grants, part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda, aim to cut climate pollution and accelerate the clean energy transition. The projects include installing solar arrays, improving energy efficiency, and developing electric vehicle infrastructure. This marks one of the largest climate investments in Tribal and territorial communities.

Fleming County Schools in rural Kentucky has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by switching to electric school buses, thanks to federal funding from the EPA's Clean School Bus Program. The savings have been so significant that the district has been able to increase teacher pay.

North Carolina has received $26.7 million in federal funds from the EPA's Clean School Bus Grant Program to purchase 114 electric school buses. This funding will benefit 13 counties, with a significant portion going to Durham and Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. The initiative aims to replace older diesel buses, reduce carbon emissions, and improve air quality for students. Governor Roy Cooper emphasized that this investment supports better-resourced schools and a cleaner environment.
