About Us
LEAP is the Energy Education Committee’s resource conservation program. LEAP’s primary goal is to educate all stakeholders on how their habits and actions have a direct impact on the use of natural resources. By communicating savings data, conservation efforts, and best practices, LEAP serves to instill a “green” ethic throughout our system and beyond. We believe this organization-wide energy management program will help us enhance our financial health and aid in preserving the environment for future generations.
It’s good to be green!
Our Mission
To provide for the conservation of the environment for future generations, Cecil County Public Schools’ Energy Education Committee (EEC) will promote best practices and behaviors to reduce cost, consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.
In order to fulfill its mission, the EEC will:
- Educate all stakeholders on how their habits and actions have a direct impact on the use of natural resources;
- Identify and implement savings opportunities and conservation strategies;
- Conduct ongoing building surveys to ensure best practices are being implemented;
- Monitor and report consumption and savings data;
- Promote the use of new technologies in achieving conservation efforts;
- Communicate savings data, conservation efforts, and best practices; and.
- Recognize those persons and buildings achieving top savings results.
Goals:
- CCPS will be models of energy efficiency throughout the state and nation.
- Educate all stakeholders (employees, students, parents) on how their habits and actions have a direct impact on the use of natural resources.
- All stakeholders (employees, students, parents) will practice resource conservation, following the conservation strategies outlined in the Best Practices for Energy and Resource Conservation handbook.
- CCPS will reduce energy consumption by 10% by the end of FY 2009, based upon the baseline year of 2007.
- CCPS will establish an energy conservation culture resulting in the elimination of wasteful, inefficient behaviors and practices.
