Ask yourself…
• Are you levying to your District’s maximum?
• Do you have capital improvement projects that you have delayed for budgetary reasons?Outdated Controls
Inefficient Lighting Systems
Expensive Operating Costs

Revenue Limit Exemption for Energy Conservation Purposes
• Allows a district to increase its revenue limit by the amount spent in that school year on energy efficiency measures, and renewable energy products, that result in the avoidance of, or reduction in, energy costs.

Key Statutes & Rules
• Board must pass a resolution to utilize the exemption in the current fiscal year (and prior/in conjunction with setting the current year’s levy), so the resolution must be passed between July 1st & November 1st of the year the funds will be used.
• A resolution must be passed in each year in which the exemption is claimed, even if borrowing (so it is possible that the board will have to approve a resolution for 20 years).
• There are reporting requirements when the exemption is used – reporting to the community (at Annual Meeting) and at the end of the year as to the project’s savings (data also must eventually be entered into the DPI / SFS Team’s reporting portal)

School energy and maintenance costs are the greatest expenses for schools after personnel costs.*
As school budgets dwindle and energy costs continue to rise, fewer resources are dedicated to school operations and maintenance.
As a result, the health and performance of our school buildings - and our students - suffers

Ample research evidence strongly indicates that poor air quality results in poor performance by students and workers.
The US EnvironmentalProtection Agency estimatesthat more than 10 million daysof schooling are lost each year by students because of asthma attacks (EPA, 2000).

A number of studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between appropriate lighting and higher student achievement. Specifically:•Good lighting quality and proper foot-candles have been found to be positively related to increases in student achievement and performance.•Conversely, in schools where the lighting is less than the minimum acceptable level and poor quality, students did not perform as well as studentsin properly illuminated school buildings.

The physical condition of our school facilities affects the performance, comfort and stress levels of students and teachersalike.
A wide body of researchilluminates the relationshipsbetween the physical and human performance of our schools, including the links between:
