Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Healthy and High Performance Schools
Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) American kindergarten through grade 12 schools spend
over $6,000,000,000 annually on energy costs, which is more
than is spent on books and computers combined.
(2) Approximately 25,000,000 students are attending schools
with at least 1 unsatisfactory environmental condition.
(3) Educators teach and students learn best in an
environment that is comfortable, healthy, naturally lit where
possible, and in good repair, and studies have indicated that
student achievement is greater and attendance higher when those
conditions are met.
(4) Over half of our Nation's kindergarten through grade 12
schools are more than 40 years old and in need of renovation to
reach such standard of efficiency and comfort, and 6,000 new
schools will be required over the next 10 years to accommodate
the growing number of students.
(5) Inadequate ventilation in school buildings, poor
lighting and acoustical quality, and uncomfortable temperatures
can cause poor health and diminish students' capacity to
concentrate and excel.
(6) Inefficient use of water, either in consumption or from
poorly maintained systems, is prevalent in older schools.
(7) Using a whole building approach in the design of new
schools and the renovation of existing schools (considering how
materials, systems, and products connect and overlap and also
how a school is integrated on its site and within the
surrounding community) will result in healthy and high
performance school buildings.
(8) Adoption of whole building concepts has been shown to
result in dramatic improvements in student and teacher
performance.
(9) Adopting a whole building approach usually results in a
lower life cycle cost for the school building than for a
conventionally designed and built building.
(10) Systematic use of energy conservation in school
construction and renovation projects can save at least one
quarter of current energy costs, leaving more money for
teachers and educational materials.
(11) The use of renewable energy sources such as
daylighting, solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, and biomass
power in a building already designed to be energy-efficient can
help meet the building's energy needs without added emissions.
(12) Using environmentally preferable products and
providing for adequate supplies of fresh air will improve
indoor air quality and provide healthful school buildings.
(13) Most school districts do not have the knowledge of
cutting-edge design and technologies to integrate optimum
efficiency and environmentally healthy designs into new school
construction or into school renovations.
(b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to assist local
educational agencies in the production of high performance elementary
school and secondary school buildings that are healthful, productive,
energy-efficient, and environmentally sound.

SEC. 3. PROGRAM ESTABLISHMENT AND ADMINISTRATION.

(a) Program.--There is established in the Department of Education
the High Performance Schools Program (in this Act referred to as the
''Program'').
(b) Grants.--The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of
Energy and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,
may, through the Program, award grants to State educational agencies to

subgrants to local educational agencies to permit such
local educational agencies to carry out the activities
described in subsection (d).
(B) Limitation.--A State educational agency shall
award subgrants under subparagraph (A) to local
educational agencies that have made a commitment to use
the subgrant funds to develop healthy, high performance
school buildings in accordance with the plan developed
and approved pursuant to subparagraph (C)(i).
(C) Implementation.--
(i) Plans.--A State educational agency
shall award subgrants under paragraph (1) only
to local educational agencies that, in
consultation with the State educational agency
and State offices with responsibilities
relating to energy and health, have developed
plans that the State educational agency
determines to be feasible and appropriate in
order to achieve the purposes for which such
subgrants are made.
(ii) Supplementing grant funds.--The State
educational agency shall encourage qualifying
local educational agencies to supplement their
subgrant funds with funds from other sources in
the implementation of their plans.
(2) Administration.--A State educational agency receiving a
grant under this Act shall use the grant funds made available
under section 4(a)(2)--
(A) to evaluate compliance by local educational
agencies with the requirements of this Act;
(B) to distribute information and materials to
clearly define and promote the development of healthy,
high performance school buildings for both new and
existing facilities;
(C) to organize and conduct programs for school
board members, school district personnel, architects,
engineers, and others to advance the concepts of
healthy, high performance school buildings;
(D) to obtain technical services and assistance in
planning and designing high performance school
buildings; and
(E) to collect and monitor information pertaining
to the high performance school building projects funded
under this Act.
(3) Promotion.--Subject to section 4(a), a State
educational agency receiving a grant under this Act may use
grant funds for promotional and marketing activities, including
facilitating private and public financing, working with school
administrations, students, and communities, and coordinating
public benefit programs.
(d) Local Use of Funds.--
(1) In general.--A local educational agency receiving a
subgrant under subsection (c)(1) shall use such subgrant funds
for new school building projects and renovation projects that--
(A) achieve energy-efficiency performance that
reduces energy use to at least 30 percent below that of
a school constructed in compliance with standards
prescribed in Chapter 8 of the 2000 International
Energy Conservation Code, or a similar State code
intended to achieve substantially equivalent results;
and
(B) achieve environmentally healthy schools in
compliance with Federal and State codes intended to
achieve healthy and safe school environments.
(2) Existing buildings.--A local educational agency
receiving a subgrant under subsection (c)(1) for renovation of
existing school buildings shall use such subgrant funds to
achieve energy efficiency performance that reduces energy use
below the school's baseline consumption, assuming a 3-year,
weather-normalized average for calculating such baseline and to
help bring schools into compliance with health and safety
standards.

SEC. 4. ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.

(a) In General.--A State receiving a grant under this Act shall
use--
