Dollars & sense with energy  
 
Our ECISD Energy Management program continues to reap big rewards. Through August, our district's energy-saving efforts are reducing our monthly costs by an average of 25.9% and we have saved $4,749,420 since starting this program in the spring of 2012.
 
On to the next goal - 30% savings! Thank you to our outstanding staff members who have helped us achieve these massive savings.
