Good Question

With the District's new Energy policy going into effect this July, staff has been asked to remove all personal appliances. Today I was asked about the use of personal size refrigerators versus full-sized models.

The cost to operate just two mini fridges is approximately the same as one full sized refrigerator. It is much more cost effective to remove all the personal refrigerators throughout the district and add a few standard size energy efficient models to the staff lunch/break rooms. Some buildings have 30+ mini fridges so the savings will be substantial once these are removed.

We will be keeping money directly in our classrooms by making simple changes like removing personal appliances.
Thanks for doing your part!
