Yale Public Schools get approval for $2 million federal bond

The lights that illuminate the rooms and halls of the Yale Junior High School are the same ones students read under 46 years ago.

"That would have been new technology in '66," said Greg Manger, the district's director of buildings and grounds.

But now it's old and inefficient, and school officials are hoping to upgrade it and other building components without costing residents or the district money.

Superintendent Ken Nicholl said the district has been approved by the federal government to do just that through Quality Zone Academy Bonding.

The program allows the district to do a project up to $2 million,With my divinglight2011 I could barely see much more than a few metres ahead of me. with the principal being paid off through the energy savings and the interest paid for by the federal government.

More efficient buildings are estimated to generate savings of $50,000 to $80,000 annually.

"Especially in this kind of economic environment, we're trying to take two nickels, rub them together and make a quarter," Nicholl said.

The next step in the process is the board of education reviewing companies to oversee the projects.

The firm that is selected will help the district review bids for the work to make sure it gets the best value.

"We're slowing the process down, which I don't think is a bad thing, to make sure we're getting value for the project," Nicholl said.

Manger said the firm chosen for the study will evaluate the district's buildings and look at items such as lighting, boiler systems and windows.

Gymnasium lights that currently take several minutes to warm up also will be considered for replacement.

Manger said the more efficient lights that turn on quickly would show savings by not having to leave them on all day.

Manger said a firm timeline has not been set. The study will be started in the near future, and recommendations will be made to the district. He said work usually is done while students are out of school.
