Growing Students and Teachers: Overcoming School Garden Barriers in Ohio's Largest School District
August 19th at 11 am PT/2:00 PM ET
Columbus City Schools (CCS) is bridging the gap between urban youth and agricultural opportunity. With 47,000+ students across a highly diverse population, CCS has built one of the nation’s largest school-based agriculture programs, spanning 80 schools and 300+ classrooms supported by the leverage of over $1 million in partnerships.
Participants will leave with insights on how to scale a data-driven, teacher-informed program that brings hands-on food growing into urban schools while minimizing burden on educators.
Presented by:
- Katie Young, Farm to School & Nutrition Coordinator at Columbus City schools, OH.
- Timothy McDermott, Extension Educator at Ohio State University Extension, OH.
