If Higley's District Office thermostat was set at the same temperature as the school's they would save a lot. I've never seen so many cold people in Arizona in the summer!
Most schools have large parking lots, and low flat-roof buildings. Here in Arizona, the amount of sun annually could meet MORE than any conceivable electricity needs with a photovoltaic system. One bond expenditure could ensure a steady supply of electricity to meet your needs for decades. And, covered parking lots would create SHADED parking. By ensuring that the have enough panels to generate 115% of your annual usage, you would get a slight credit on your bill.

It is baffling why schools have not done this...
