Modesto City Schools was recognized nationally for its solar power initiatives, particularly for the installation of solar panels at parking lots and adding electric buses to its fleet. These efforts are expected to offset 60% of the district's current electricity costs. The district's director of sustainability, Gilbert Blue Feather Rosas, highlighted the importance of sustainable energy at a White House summit, urging other districts to adopt similar clean energy solutions. This initiative is part of the district's broader commitment to reducing energy costs and environmental impact.
