Board of Ed meeting 9-25-07

The proposed capital budget was not discussed at this meeting.

There was a well-done presentation by CCS student Jack Kervin (I hope I have his name right) and science teacher Sandy Fischer regarding the use of green energy techniques within the facilities. Some can be implemented regardless of the outcome of the capital project and others are more involved. A board member commented that some energy-saving steps can be taken immediately at no cost such as turning off lights that seems to be on all the time regardless of need, and turning off the computers in the computer lab at night. I see no reason why this cannot be done by simple directive from the Board or Superintendent to the staff.

I expect there will be significant discussion of the capital budget at the next meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
