School Find Ways to Save Money

Carlson (2009) wrote an article, Conservation helps grooms spend on students, not heftiness, that all the way defines the benefits of energy conservation in reducing school districts utility cost while saving a huge amount of taxpayers money. With the recommendation and help from the consulting firm, Energy Education, Inc. a broadcast was created to monitor the practice of utilities and to implement proper ways of conserving electricity, gas and water. Oxnard School District, Las Virgenes Unified School District as sanitary as the school districts in Ventura County have taken a bold step in hiring energy educators and managers.The risk that these school districts have taken proved to be a worthwhile endeavor as the savings generated from limiting energy use was rerouted towards the improvement of classrooms and educational services. The success of the energy conservation program in a limited number of districts is a wake up call to the rest of the school districts nationwide as current economic crisis and high cost of gasoline will have an conflict on the school budget.In addition, a similar scheme may be applied to crime syndicate and business establishments as the cost of utilities is a major concern of entrepreneurs and family members. The article shows that there are functional solutions in reducing operating expenses without sacrificing school districts budget that may be intended for classroom purposes, teachers salaries, in-service trainings and other educational programs.The solution often lies in the administrators willingness to keep an commit mind, to take a concerted risk and to accept a new concept. The reluctance in changing a behavior that can make a difference may impede the addition of a sector that relies heavily on taxpayers money to meet the budgetary requirements of a system that is liable for building a solid future for students who will be in charge of shaping the growth of our nation.ReferenceCarlson, C.
