Power down when possible

According to the Energy Information Administration, school energy expenses rose 20% from 2000 - 2002 and forecasts for energy prices show the trend only as increasing due to more and more technology in our schools. Our district is taking action to do everything we can to reduce our energy use and therefore save money.

We need energy to light our classrooms, power our smart boards, heat and cool our buildings and cook our lunches, so the idea is to eliminate wasted energy – the stuff that’s on when we are not in the room. So power down whenever possible. Every action to eliminate wasted energy, no matter how small, is a huge help to our district. When you add up all the little things being done to save energy, these make a BIG difference.    Thanks for doing your part!
