constructed through a Power Purchasing Agreement with Ameresco and are anticipated to be cost neutral for the district. As of FY25, NPS has established a new Green Team Captain leadership stipend; there is currently at least one Green Team Captain at every school, whose role is focused on supporting sustainability initiatives and a student green team. The first year of these stipends in FY25 is funded through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) grant funds that come through the Department of Public Works’ (DPW) Sustainable Materials Management Department. Revenue generated by the Helpsy Textile Collection bins located at the schools will fund the stipends in the following years.
