PUSD Board to Vote Thursday on 30% Tree Canopy Goal

The Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education will vote on a resolution committing the district to work toward 30% mature tree canopy in outdoor areas designated for student learning, play, and circulation by 2035. However, the proposal notes that budget reductions have cut grounds staffing by approximately 50%, which affects the district's ability to maintain its existing or any additional trees.
