Fall Edition

It is hard to believe that we have already completed over a third of the school year!!  For those of us that have been in education for a few years, we recall how challenging (and long) October can feel.  Congratulations, you finished October, parent/teacher conferences and almost the first trimester. Now we are headed into the holidays, which can bring their own set of joys and challenges.

Don't forget our commitment - put on your own oxygen mask first.  Take care of yourself, get enough rest, take your vitamins, get your flu shot and BREATHE!

Switch on the Savings

Our District’s Energy Management Specialist Chris Garcia (far right) and two Borego Solar representatives (left) joined Superintendent Andrew as he switched on one of the District’s new photovoltaic electrical systems. All 12 of the photovoltaic systems will be fully operational by the end of this month.

The District’s energy conservation practices have saved millions of gallons of water, tens of thousands of therms, two million kilowatt hours—and over one million dollars! The General Fund savings benefits students and the community. 

Garcia, who oversees the District’s day-to-day energy systems, noted that upgrades to the District’s irrigation, lighting and electrical systems over the past six years has reduced water usage by half and will soon produce enough electricity to cover 70 percent of the District’s energy needs.

Bus safety from the bottom up!

Mechanic John Carone doesn’t get many 

visitors in his “office” where he works to repair 

and maintain our bus fleet.

From field trips to daily routes, CUSD buses travel, on average, 100,000 miles a year, so making sure students and drivers are in safe, well maintained vehicles is essential. From his “office” under the buses, CUSD mechanic John Carone works on everything from the 1993 diesel-powered bus to the newer ones that run on compressed natural gas. The drivers, who are among the safest drivers in the nation, keep buses clean and looking good between trips.

Reminders

December paychecks will be distributed on the last school day in December, the 16th.  Please be mindful that you will not receive your next check until January 31!!  Budget accordingly.
