Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools has received two district-wide ENERGY STAR Leader Awards from the Environmental Protection Agency for its energy reduction efforts in all buildings.
To receive the awards, the district had to achieve two milestones. The first milestone required a 10% energy reduction across the entire district. The second milestone achieved, known as "Top Performer," required all buildings to perform in the top 25% of similar buildings nationwide.
Since 2010, the district has achieved more than $300,000 in avoided energy costs.
These district-wide accomplishments are a team effort between energy conscious students and staff, and head building custodians who are continually operating buildings efficiently.
