Going green appears to be helpful to lots of school systems around the country that are reaping big savings by turning off computers at night, turning off lights when no one is in the room, replacing oil gulping furnaces with energy conservation ones and a whole host of other options. The savings are helping to reduce the impact of budget cuts. Maryland school districts have not generally felt the severe cutbacks that have been common in other states, however, the coming budget cycle may be one where systems are beginning to look around for cost savings. I was wondering if readers of the blog know whether any conservation measures have been put into place in the last year or two in school systems in your area?
