Newburgh Enlarged City School District Receives Energy Excellence Award
Faculty and staff at the Newburgh Enlarged City School District have chalked up over one million dollars worth of good behavior. Their energy-efficient practices have earned big savings and now those good habits are earning the organization national recognition.
The Newburgh Enlarged City School District has achieved $1,037,211 in cost savings in 21 months since forming a strategic alliance with Energy Education, a national energy conservation company, which presented the Energy Excellence Award during a recent NECSD Board of Education Meeting.
“Reaching this savings mark is a significant milestone. The Newburgh Enlarged City School District has achieved success by consistently implementing the organizational behavior-based approach to energy conservation and maintaining productive efforts at all levels of the organization. Superintendent of Schools Ralph A. Pizzo, along with NECSD Board of Education members, administration, faculty and staff members are to be commended for clearly fulfilling their commitment to being good stewards of the taxpayers’ money and the environment,” said Dr. William S. Spears, Chairman and Founder of Energy Education.
“Strong support from Superintendent Ralph A. Pizzo and the Board have created an atmosphere of cooperation that should continue to grow and ensure even greater success well into the future,” Dr. Spears said. “I am extremely pleased to present Newburgh Enlarged City School District with our Energy Excellence Award. The Newburgh Enlarged City School District joins a very committed group of organizations across the country working hard to achieve energy savings so the dollars saved can be redirected to educational needs,” explained Dr. Spears.
