Avon School Board To Discuss Energy Conservation Policy Tuesday

AVON ??

The school board will discuss new policies on energy conservation and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at its meeting on Tuesday.

"The Board of Education believes that measures should be taken to conserve energy resources and to reduce the expenditures of funds for energy, while preserving a safe and comfortable environment," the draft energy conservation policy reads. "Therefore, the Board hereby directs the administration, supported by the schools, to assess the consumption of energy and implement reasonable operating procedures to reduce energy consumption in the District."

The AED policy was put in place to "direct the organization, availability and access of automatic external defibrillators" in Avon schools, according to the minutes of the Jan. 17 policy committee meeting.

The policies were drafted by the policy committee, which consists of Katharine Zirolli, Jeff Bernetich and Houston Putnam Lowry, and Superintendent Gary Mala.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the community room at Avon High School, 510 W. Avon Road.
