The Independent School District of Boise City
prides itself on providing its students and their
families with the highest quality of education.
In today’s environmentally conscious society
that includes understanding methods of conservation,
of ecology, and protection of our environment.
In 1997, we created the
Boise School District Resource
Conservation Office to
carry out this objective.
It began with the goal
of reducing energy consumption
in all District buildings
by 10% and getting 100%
participation from students,
faculty and staff. However,
with new improvements in
technology and the creative
solutions presented by
some of the District’s
most forward-thinking schools,
we think that we can push
our goals even further.
Thus we are striving to
reduce overall District
energy use 15% by 2015.
In order to accomplish
this, students and staff
must be the driving force
behind our plan and must
take initiative for change
in their own buildings.
The Resource Conservation
Office is here to promote,
coordinate, and implement
the most effective sustainability
practices. By harnessing
Boise's immense physical
and intellectual resources,
we are working to bring
about positive solutions
for today's environmental
challenges. |
