COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Three Ohio schools have been honored for their work to produce a green-friendly
school environment.
Milton-Union
Exempted Village School in Miami County, West Geauga High School in
Geauga County and Metro Catholic School in Cuyahoga County are among 48
schools selected as Green Ribbon Schools. The U.S. Department of
Education award is given to schools for their work to reduce
environmental impact and utility costs, promote better health, and
ensure effective environmental education.
The education department
said in a statement last week that schools in 27 states were nominated
by 30 state education agencies.
Those selected for the award include 39
public and nine private schools that serve various grade levels from
kindergarten through 12th grade.
Twenty-one of the honorees serve a disadvantaged student body and 17 are rural.
