BEAL CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ENERGY USE AND CONSERVATION POLICY
PURPOSE
Beal City Public Schools are responsible for the efficient use of all natural resources required by the District. In keeping with this responsibility, the District shall provide leadership in developing a realistic energy use ethic, by increasing awareness of energy needs and their associated costs in the operation of District facilities, in order to conserve on energy while maintaining a comfortable environment.
STATEMENT OF POLICY
The District's success in achieving an effective energy use, conservation and efficiency program requires and depends upon cooperation at all levels. Therefore, every employee, student, school volunteer and contractor is expected to contribute to and actively participate in the District's energy conservation and efficiency program, and to be an "energy saver" as well as an "energy consumer."
Implementation of the District's energy use and conservation policy shall be the joint and collective responsibility of the District's Board of Education, administration, teachers, staff, students and volunteers. While primary accountability and responsibility for management and administration of the District's energy conservation and efficiency program shall lie with the District's Director of Maintenance, the District's Energy Conservation Committee shall assist the Director of Maintenance as needed in implementing, managing, directing, monitoring, evaluating and reporting District conservation and efficiency in the use of energy.
The District shall, under the supervision and direction of its Director of Maintenance maintain accurate records of energy consumption and associated costs at each school site and shall periodically provide information on the goals and progress of the District's energy conservation program. The judicious use and management of various energy systems at each school facility shall be the joint responsibility of the administrative, instructional and custodial staff of each such facility, acting in concert with the District's Maintenance Department and its Director of Maintenance
The District's Superintendent shall develop, in cooperation with and with assistance from such others as may be necessary, and shall thereafter disseminate, the appropriate short and long range administrative guidelines or regulations necessary to implement and administer the District's energy awareness, management and conservation programs.
