Conference presentations at SustainableED also emphasized how environmental exposures tied to major infrastructure may shape learning outcomes, extending the discussion beyond curriculum content. Preliminary findings presented by Brown researcher Samantha Kane suggested statistically significant declines in third-grade math scores for students attending schools within a mile of data centers. The mechanism discussed centered on pollutants associated with asthma and other health risks. The conference framing also paired these exposure-focused results with climate literacy interventions using classroom lessons, underscoring that education outcomes may depend on both what students learn and the conditions in which learning occurs. While much of the work is described as preliminary, the research agenda is already aimed at policymakers, positioning school health and infrastructure impacts as part of climate and education policy conversations.
