In the District's efforts
to conserve our valuable natural resources and minimize utility expences we have
provided helpful suggestions to help each school reduce consumption. Please click
below to see suggestions for Elementary, Middle and High Schools.
We'd like to hear your success stories. If you have a program
that is working well at your school regarding conservation, send us the details
via CAB and we'll post it on our website to share it with the rest of the District.
