Administrator Regan will meet with mothers, students, administrators, and advocates; ride an electric school bus currently servicing Fairfax County Schools; deliver remarks; and take questions from the press.

During the visit, Administrator Regan will participate in a roundtable conversation with Flint Hill students in their school library, participate in an electric school bus ride and deliver remarks in front of the electric school bus, stream live on Moms Clean Air Force’s Facebook Page. All portions of the event are open press. Space on the bus ride is limited and will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

WHO: 

  • EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan
  • Mothers Out Front’s Bobby Monacella
  • Moms Clean Air Force’s Julie Kimmel
  • Fairfax County Public School Board’s Elaine Tholen
  • Flint Hill Principal Jennifer Herztberg
  • Environmental student leaders from Flint Hill Elementary School and Fairfax County’s Madison High School

WHEN: Monday, March 14, 2022, 10:00 AM-11:15 AM ET.

LIVESTREAM: A livestream of the press conference portion of the event will begin at 10:40 AM and will be available here.

WHERE: Flint Hill Elementary School, 2444 Flint Hill Rd, Vienna, VA 22181. The event will also stream live on Moms Clean Air Force’s Facebook Page.
