Birmingham City Schools has launched eight hydroponic classrooms to teach nearly 4,000 students food-based science and address challenges like absenteeism and food insecurity—backed by a $500,000 partnership between NY Sun Works and Jones Valley Teaching Farm.

Birmingham City Schools is the first district in the nation to train all employees—teachers, bus drivers, and custodians—to support students with sensory needs; the schools now offer sensory bags, calming stations, and designated quiet rooms to help children relax.
