The Proposition 39 K-12 Program provides grant funds for energy projects – energy efficiency upgrades and clean energy generation – at schools within a local educational agency (LEA). During the first four fiscal years of the Proposition 39 K-12 Program, the California Legislature appropriated more than $1.3 billion in new revenues to create clean energy jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save energy and costs for schools. During this time, the Energy
Commission has approved more than 1,200 energy expenditure plans for more than 1,100 local educational agencies, representing $881 million in funding and benefitting more than 4,400 school sites.
