Maine environmental groups and young climate change activists are backing a bill that would give teachers a chance to beef up on climate science instruction. The proposal creates a three-year pilot program that would allow school districts to apply for $3 million in grants and partner with nonprofits so that teachers can receive training in climate science education. It's backed by environmental groups like the League of Conservation Voters and the Natural Resources Council of Maine.
