Administrator Regan met with mothers, students, administrators, and advocates; rode an electric school bus currently servicing Fairfax County schools; delivered remarks; and took questions from the press.

During the visit, Administrator Regan participated in a roundtable conversation with Flint Hill students in their school library, participated in an electric school bus ride, and delivered remarks in front of the electric school bus, streamed live on Moms Clean Air Force’s Facebook Page.

WHO: 

  • EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan
  • Mothers Out Front’s Bobby Monacella
  • Moms Clean Air Force’s Julie Kimmel
  • Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools Scott Brabrand
  • Eddie Felber, 5th grader with Flint Hill Elementary School’s Green Team
  • Anika Gupta, president of Madison High School’s Mad Climate Leaders Club
  • Lena Mudrick, 6th grader with Flint Hill Elementary School’s Green Team

WHEN: The event was held yesterday, Monday March 14, 2022, 10:00 AM–11:15 AM ET.
