School and district resolutions
Dozens of school districts have signed board level resolutions making CHPS Criteria the standard for all new construction and major modernizations district-wide over the years. These remain helpful resources for schools looking to bring CHPS to their community.
Making a commitment to high performance
Over the years, multiple schools and districts across the U.S. have realized the benefits of becoming a CHPS School District by committing to high performance schools that benefit their students and communities.
CHPS has many resources to support the process of developing and passing resolutions, and recognizing the leadership of schools that have done so. Passing a CHPS resolution should be a collaborative and inclusive effort including teachers, designers, facilities and maintenance staff, administrators, parents, and students. Once prepared, teams can put resolutions before their school boards.
To help, CHPS offers a district resolution template as well as examples of other districts’ resolutions below. These illustrate the rich history of CHPS commitments, and can help provide schools considering CHPS with the resources and confidence they need to move ahead.
District resolution requirements
In order to be recognized as a CHPS Resolution, the document must meet the following requirements:
A formal commitment must be made at the Board or Trustee level.
A specific commitment needs to be made that all new construction and major modernization projects (as defined by CHPS) meet the CHPS Criteria minimum qualifying point and prerequisite threshold.
A digital version of the resolution, signed and dated, must be submitted to CHPS.
