Building 'Green' Schools
"Metro school districts want to build 19 buildings in coming years. If they get the money [from the bond], most of the districts are considering erecting buildings that meet national environmental and energy efficiency standards.
Six Oregon schools -- including North Clackamas High School and the cafeteria at Beaverton High -- currently hold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifications. Portland's new Rosa Parks Elementary School and a school in Canby are awaiting the certification."
