Policy 808 - Energy Management Conservation

The purpose of this policy is to set forth the School Board expectation that energy management and resource conservation is important to the district, and the administration and Superintendent should foster awareness and conservation throughout the district.

The School Board bears the responsibility for the best use of tax dollars and believes that in the area of energy management every effort should be made to conserve energy and natural resources. The School Board further believes that public education can provide leadership in developing an energy conservation ethic and awareness of energy needs and costs.

Therefore, the School Board directs the Superintendent to develop strategies in the areas of facilities management and curriculum development dealing with energy awareness and conservation. The implementation of these strategies shall be the joint responsibility of the administration, staff, and students, and its success is based on cooperation at all levels.

The District will maintain accurate records of energy consumption and cost and provide progress reports on the goals of the energy conservation program to the School Board and the community upon request.
