Progress on Recommendations on Recovery Steps 1. The district has not as yet established a districtwide policy to install high efficiency electrical and mechanical equipment. However, the district has contracted with Viron to conduct an energy efficiency evaluation. This evaluation has been completed and incorporated into the master plan for the district. 2. The district has not held semiannual meetings with school site and administrative staff on how to be energy efficient. 3. An appropriate source of capital funding has been identified. The district has qualified for critical hardship, new construction and modernization funding. The results of the energy assessment can now be implemented without an infusion of substantial resources from the general fund. 4. Recent bond elections have not been successful. However, the recently approved qualification for $107 million in critical hardship funding may result in decreasing the need for a bond election. The district has hired an energy consultant to help implement an effective energy conservation plan.

All employees required to perform maintenance on school sites should be provided with adequate supplies, equipment and training to perform maintenance tasks in a timely and professional manner. Included in the training is how to inventory supplies and equipment and when to order or replenish them. Progress on Recommendations on Recovery Steps 1. The district’s process for tracking maintenance requests is still cumbersome. 2. The district has implemented a mobile team that ensures that only the materials that are a part of the normal inventory are carried. 3. The facilities and maintenance department will be moving into the “L” building, formally the Risk Management Department, on February 8. After this move, the department plans on maintaining a computerized inventory of materials. 4. The firm Maximo will be evaluating systems to ensure that an accurate supply inventory is maintained. Employees should be held accountable for their part in keeping the inventory accurate. This is best done in the evaluation process.
