Energy
Monetary Incentives
Your school may be eligible to share in the savings that result from your energy waste reduction efforts.  The shared savings program guidelines are noted below.  If you have any further questions you can contact  Rob Van Der Like, 671-6907.  You may also want to check back periodically on the SAVE Team page to see what other schools are doing with energy waste reduction.

As employees of the school district we are already expected to use the resources entrusted to us in a wise and prudent manner.  We already get paid to not waste the precious resources provided to us by the tax-paying public.  However, having an awards and monetary incentive program is a great management tool for principals and directors in their efforts to develop good energy saving habits in their organization.  Grant money is also available for teachers who would like to incorporate the Project Green Machine service-learning activities into their curriculum.
