Healthy Schools Now will hold a conference on May 30 at the Contemporary, located at 176 West State St. in Trenton. The conference, “Building Our Future Together: Funding Schools Construction for the Next Generation” will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration and a light breakfast will begin at 9:30 a.m.
The Building Our Future Together conference will focus on the urgent need for increased state funding to support school construction and facilities improvements in New Jersey’s most in-need school districts. The conference will bring together education leaders, policymakers, advocates and community members to highlight the conditions students and education professionals face in aging and deteriorating school buildings and to discuss strategies for securing sustainable state investments. Key topics include modernizing learning environments, addressing health and safety issues in older facilities, strengthening funding mechanisms, and ensuring that all students have access to safe, healthy, and 21st-century educational spaces. These challenges demand action—and investing in our school facilities is how we strengthen communities and deliver real opportunity for the next generation. Scan the QR code to register.
