The district applied to the California Energy Commission for over $86,000 in funding from Proposition 39, an initiative California voters approved in 2012 that closed a tax loophole and had rewarded businesses for moving jobs out of state. Now those tax dollars are being invested in our children, our schools and our environment.
As part of the project, the school also replaced their outdated thermostats with 365-day programmable Wi-Fi units. The total project, which was completed in December 2014, will reduce the amount of electricity and natural gas the school used, saving an estimated $6,000 per year.
