The PTA Go Green Initiative program was originally developed by the Walnut Grove Elementary PTA, and was piloted at four P1easanton school sites during the 2002-2003 school year. Due to the success of the program, the California State PTA authorized the dissemination of the program to PTA's statewide, and the Texas State PTA adopted the program in July 2003. The Go Green Initiative is now supported in several school districts nationwide. The Go Green Initiative has a proven track record for success in the Pleasanton schools. Staff is recommending a Measure D grant in the amount of $40,000 for the 2005-06 school year. This amount will be combined with a grant from the Pleasanton Unified School District to provide funds to all sixteen Pleasanton schools. Go Green has an effective monitoring report system in place and quarterly reports will continue to be submitted, as required by the City and state. FISCAL IMPACT The $40,000 grant is from the City's Measure D recycling funds. Measure D funds are a restricted revenue that can only be used the City to advance recycling programs.
