Someone more in tune with CCSD may be able to explain what happened to the "conservation program with financial incentives of four years ago," as explained in Saturday's P & C. [See Schools' Goal: Energy Savings].
If I understand correctly, CCSD's two-year attempt at conserving energy was a resounding success, so much so that the district saved over $639 thousand in 2004-05. The schools that were successful at conserving energy received over $92 thousand to spend on their students' needs. But once the two-year program ran out, it was dropped. Why?
So, who dropped the ball? Doesn't anyone look at programs in CCSD to evaluate if they are working? Did CCSD think that the total saved was too small to bother with? Does the P & C reporter ever ask questions such as these?
Maybe Mark Cobb, the district's executive director of facility services, would have the answers.

Very good questions. I would like to hear the answers on all these points. It seems CCSD can do something right, except it fails to sustain it.
It's pretty common to have effective programs in Operations that are just patted on the back with a "nice job," then funding eliminated at the budget table in favor of an academic experiment such as CEP. The District is run by educators, not business people, so the money typically follows.
