Overview

 

Since 2016, the Roxbury Township Public Schools has been striving to become more sustainable and green in its policies and practices. The Board of Education and administration made the decision to pursue district sustainability and green initiatives by creating and approving various policies outlining its position and efforts. Click the "Sustainability Policies" link to the left to view those approved policies.

 

To that end, the district is continuously working toward becoming a Sustainable Jersey for Schools certified district and we first accomplished bronze certification in 2018. As of August 2024, all seven Roxbury Schools earned Silver certification within the program.

Sustainable Jersey for Schools is a certification program for New Jersey public schools that want to go green, conserve resources and take steps to create a brighter future, one school at a time. Launched in fall 2014, they are a non-profit organization that provides tools, training, and financial incentives to support and reward schools as they pursue sustainability programs.
