Plan for Sustainability Snapshot of current funding “cuts” • Foundation Allowance • Impact ($/pupil)Starting cut $170 • Governors plan (addl. cut) $300 • Retirement cost increase $130 • Healthcare cost increase $100 $700 • Potential “give backs” 2 @ $100/pupil if you qualify • School Aid Fund raids?

  5. What is your plan to create sustainability in the quality of your teaching and learning environment? What steps are you taking to ensure your facilities don’t adversely impact achievement?

  6. Savings Opportunities….

  7. Dispelling the Myths Perception: Significant energy savings aren’t available because… • Bond project recently completed • Have good facility staff • Implemented behavioral savings program • Too busy right now Opportunity Exists!

  8. Energy Use Index Benchmark Analysis: K-12 Schools • Know the actual efficiency by building • The “average” district would save 24%/year by improving from the 50th to the 80th percentile Use data based decision making!

  9. How It Works….

  10. Developing a Plan • Leverage time & expertise of a partner • Explore/quantify your staff’s ideas • Utilize partner to solve existing district problem areas Get help! ESCO’s will help develop and quantify opportunities at their own expense.

  11. Funds for Facility Improvements Energy Performance Contracting Existing Funds Pay for Improvements Aging Infrastructure Energy Savings Op.& Maint. Savings Long Term Operational Savings

  12. Types of Improvements • Lighting • Controls • Heating/cooling • Pumps/motors • Windows/doors • Roofs • Ventilation/Air Quality • Many Others…

  13. How It Works • QZAB funds improvements • Receive 10% Matching Grant • ESCO Guarantees savings/provides cash flow • ESCO Project could provide funding for the initial Cyber Learning Licenses

  14. How It Works • Does not require community vote • Greater accountability—Measurement & Verification of Savings • Reduced risk to district—Single party guarantees costs, performance, and savings

  15. Why Do It • Supports student achievement • Part of integrated plan for creating sustainable environment focused on teaching and learning • Demonstrate more effective use of resources • Builds community support
