KIESD works with numerous community partners to affect positive change....

  The Partnership for a Green City

The Partnership for a Green City, began in August 2004, as a major step toward overcoming challenges to Louisville's environmental practices. The Partnership represents a collaborative effort to improve environmental education, environmental health, and environmental management by three of Louisville's largest public entities:  Louisville Metro Government, the University of Louisville (via KIESD), and the Jefferson County Public Schools. Together, these agencies employ some 25,900 people, enroll 120,000 students, own more than 500 buildings, 7,000 vehicles, and own 25,000 acres of land in Metro Louisville. Through the coordination of efforts and cooperation, the Partnership has been able to realize real results that will have long-term impact on the health, education, and well-being of our citizens.
