SB 675: Training the green economy workforce

Senator Steinberg's SB 675 would have helped curb school dropouts and fuel clean technology, renewable energy, water conservation, and pollution reduction job training. The injection of $8,000,000 into California school districts for this training would have reaped the double benefits of modernizing public educational facilities to better enable them to educate and train students for the growing green economy and providing productive pathways to well-paid jobs for disadvantaged students.
