Goal To implement energy and cost cutting initiatives that also make the school a more environmentally friendly member of the community

Topics Four-Day School Week Busing System The Cree Lighting System Revamp Cafeteria Utensils and Recycling

Four-Day School Week Have Monday thru Thursday extended by half an hour to an hour. Shorten lunch and flex periods This will still meet the state law of “180 days”

Savings By eliminating a Friday from our week we can save money in many ways For Example: Heating/Air Conditioning, Electric/Utilities, Staff Costs, Bus Transportation, etc.

Savings Weisenberg: $ a day Northwestern Elementary: $ Middle School: $ High School: $628.24

Savings District Wide Savings is $1, per Friday off Multiplied by 36 Fridays not in school This equal $49,554 a year in savings from electric and utilities.

Transportation Savings With the bus fleet traveling 731,422 miles in a year cutting a Friday saves a lot 4, miles per day $2.69 per gallon of gas Buses get 8.6mpg Miles per day times 36 days divided by mpg times cost of fuel =

Savings $45, in diesel fuel savings a year Miles saved for a whole year is 146, Saving miles can increase bus lifetime and lower maintenance costs.

Savings Heating and utilities will increase due to extension of school days. This does not effect the money saved by busing. Busing will be the same Monday through Thursday and not increase cost.

Four-Day Week Conclusion Total Savings from four-day school week is $95, a year It will also will help make the school more environmentally conscious

Tray-less Tuesday Every Tuesday Cold Lunches Served in Brown Bags

Recycling We receive money No cost, just profit They pick it up recyclers.com/

Styrofoam Free Styrofoam takes 1+ million years to decompose Paper bags take 1 month to decompose

Eliminating Styrofoam Cups District wide creates 500gallon of waste a week We use 200 containers a day 50gallons = 1toter

Cree Lighting System The Cree Lighting is a system of LED lights These lights last longer and are more efficient They also save more money in electric

Cree Lighting System These use 60% less energy than the schools current light fixtures. And pay back in 6 months. Are current light fixtures use up 32 watts. With the Cree lighting we can use less lighting fixtures per classroom.

Cree Lighting System Our Cafeteria has over 172 lights are on all day, even though we have lunch from 10:34 to 11:53. With Cree we would use less energy and by turning off the light before and after the lunch times.

Cree Lighting System

Marquee Putting Ads on the marquee. Charging $200 a month for one ad. With 5 ads a month Northwestern can earn annually $12,000.

Busing System Goal- to make the busing system more efficient and eco-friendly With the price of gas, the buses were an obvious aspect of the school to focus on

Busing System Make fewer bus stops Fill buses to maximum capacity Have a full day of kindergarten Half days only can occur for whole district

Less Bus Stops Have kids walk or driven to stops Kids can only walk up to 1.5 miles Since the school district is approximately 110 square miles have a total of 37 stops for the whole district Each bus have about three stops

Less Bus Stops By having the buses filled, we can save eight buses Each bus averages 22,500 miles a year This equals over 7,000 dollars in savings per bus a year

Less Bus Stops Since kids are going farther, filling the buses will be easier and faster It also means less miles traveled and more fuel costs saved It can also save the cost of the eight drivers we won’t need anymore This saves approximately $50,000- $60,000

Full Day of Kindergarten Change kindergarten to a full day, instead of a half day This will save the amount of trips our buses need to make in a day To compensate for the extra students, they won’t go everyday of the week This change has the potential to save $20,000 a year

Conclusion These are are a few initiatives our school could take to become a more environmentally conscious member of the community, while still saving money
