Success in a Tough Environment:
MAEOE Maryland Green Schools in Underrepresented Areas
In August and September of 2011, Maurie Kathan, Maryland
Green School Organizer and Chesapeake Conservation Corps
volunteer, conducted interviews with certified Maryland
Green Schools. The interviews were focused on schools
that successfully certified where the Maryland Green
School Program is underrepresented, to determine how
challenges were overcome. These areas are Title 1 schools,
Urban Areas, the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland.
In some of these areas, less than five percent of schools
are certified as Maryland Green Schools. We asked the
schools a series
of questions about the green school certification
process and how their school has changed since they
became a green school. Using the information gathered
from the interviews, MAEOE created two case studies and compiled advice for other schools. Maurie presented
the results of the study at the 2011 Chesapeake Watershed
Forum.
