Energy Conservation Program

September 26, 2015 By Administrator

The energy budget for our school district is approximately $1.5 million which heats and lights our 30 different facilities.

With the cost of utilities expect to increase in the future, the district will be required to decrease consumption simply to stay within our current budget.
