Activities
Coordinate the efforts of a School Sustainability Committee to identify various sustainability

potential funding sources were identified and included in a comprehensive project presentation
made to District administrators and school board members.
Outcomes
In the current edition of the LSSD publication, Good News About Our Good Schools,
Superintendent Sheldon Johnson has made replacing windows at Kelley High School
with new, energy efficient windows a funding priority. Another project to establish a
4kW PV demonstration project at Kelley High School and Minnehaha Elementary was
not acted on by the School Board based on a lack of complete outside funding.
