|
| | A 40-acre site in Dixboro is becoming a district-wide hub for hands-on environmental learning, supported by Capital Program renovations, a new greenhouse, and a planned solar canopy for outdoor learning. The Freeman Environmental Education Center is the home to one of the oldest K–12 environmental education programs in the United States, and it is receiving a series of capital investments reshaping its indoor and outdoor learning spaces. |

| Sustainability & Student Health |
|
| As part of the Capital Program, Ann Arbor Public Schools is replacing aging flooring across multiple school buildings with sustainable materials designed to improve indoor air quality, reduce chemical use, and create healthier spaces for students. Floors are one of the largest surface areas in any school building, and their condition directly affects indoor air quality, maintenance demands, and the daily experience of students and staff. |
