CARLSBAD, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A school in Carlsbad has been chosen as one of only two California named Green Ribbon honorees by the U.S. Department of Education.

Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad and Trabuco Elementary in Trabuco were the two in California selected for the distinction, the department said Friday.

The Green Ribbon honor is prestigious as each school or educational program is only eligible to receive the award once.

Other awards were announced for schools that demonstrated work in reducing environmental impact and costs, as well as improving health and promoting effective sustainability practices.

Three school districts in California were chosen as District Sustainability awardees: Claremont School District in Claremont, Rio School District in Oxnard and Cabrillo Unified School District in Half Moon Bay.

A total of 41 schools, 10 districts, three postsecondary institutions and one early learning center have been selected for 2024 USDE Green Ribbon honors. All recipients are invited to a celebratory ceremony in Washington, D.C to be announced at a later date.

TikTok sues the US government over law that could ban the app
TikTok is suing the United States government in an effort to block a law that would ban TikTok if its parent company, ByteDance, fails to sell it within a year. TikTok argues that the law violates the U.S. Constitution's commitment to "both free speech and individual liberty." "For the first time in history, Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide," the lawsuit reads.
