Thermostats Cut CCHS Fuel Use by a Quarter
Carbondale Community High School slashed fuel oil use by 25 percent after lowering thermostats to 68 during day and 55 at night and on weekends. The district plans to close nonessential offices for Christmas holidays and buys 6509 gallons of reserve fuel from Standard Oil. Tanks will be leased for storage, and milk prices rise half a cent per pint with subsidies keeping student costs down. The board also discusses Bakalis Plan policy writing, collective bargaining, robes for the choir, and a revised Dec 11 meeting date.
