Can our school district save money by using one boiler to heat 3 schools on one property?
Q. Currently, Our school district is in the process of planning to replace the boilers of the Elementary school, the Junior High, and the High school, for an estimated cost of $12 million. Would is be possible to have just one larger boiler in one of the schools and pipe the steam in insulated pipes to each school? The three schools are only separated by a football field and a track, so they form a triangle on the same property.

A. "Pushing" steam that far is very questionable. You should look into using hot water rather than steam. You could probably make the system work more efficiently if the boiler was centrally located. That would involve a new facility but in the long run, your cost for maintenance and total heat cost would be much less. It is usually cheaper to heat with hot water than steam.

What are some suggestions you have to improve your school district?
Q. I'm writing my own plan for a school district. I'd love to hear opinions from students, teachers, and parents alike. What are some things you like about the district you are in and what are some things you would change?

A. Create opportunities for communication between all the members of the staff, faculty, and administration. The bus drivers have information that would be useful to the classroom teachers who have information that would be useful to the special ed teachers who have information that would be useful to the principal who has information that would be useful to the janitors who have information to the coaches who have information that would be useful to the cafeteria workers who have information that would be useful to the bus drivers. Find ways for these people to talk to each other. Be open-minded and creative. Meetings are OK, but casual conversations about students, students needs, what is being done, what needs to be done, and how to… [cont.]

A. yes ma'am. the school will probably ask you to provide your child's own transportation. my mother had the support family services provide that transportation because we cannot. so if you can't, just ask for the number to the department that helps out the homeless families. (you dont have to be homeless to use their services)
