Resource Conservation
In 2006, the district adopted a resource and utility management program focused on conservation and cost savings. While our student enrollment and facilities square footage have grown significantly, we continue to reduce utility costs through proactive management. The powerED Performance Dashboard helps LWSD identify low-cost and no-cost ways to:
- Conserve energy and water
- Reduce waste
- Educate students and staff to save energy
- Use sustainable building and maintenance practices
