Minutes of the Public Hearing

East Sac County Community School District

Board of Education

March 17, 2014

The public hearing was called to order by Rodman at 6:00 p.m. at the East Sac County High School – Lake

View. Present were Rodman, Wilhelm, Drost, Lynch, and Stoltenberg. Also in attendance were Supt. Fiene,

Principal Fischer, Principal Litterer, several staff members, approximately 35 visitors and three media

representatives.

The purpose of the hearing was to hear public input regarding the proposed calendar for 2014-15. The proposed

calendars for 2014-15 under consideration have fewer student days than the current calendar and the proposed

school day would be 15 minutes longer. The proposed calendars would increase instructional time and time for

professional development for staff.

Several visitors voiced concerns regarding the proposed calendars. The issues included 1) concern regarding

fewer days for students and therefore more days away from school, 2) longer days being difficult for some

students, 3) concern over whether longer days would have educational benefit, 4) confusion and inconsistency

over some 4 day weeks and some 5 day weeks, 5) less days could mean less pay for hourly employees, and 6)

concern over lack of evidence that the change would improve learning.

Wilhelm moved to adjourn the public hearing, Drost seconded; motion carried 5-0. Hearing was adjourned 7:10

pm.

High School Principal Board Report April 2014

1. April and May are always a very busy time of the year for East Sac County HighSchool students and staff. Below are some of the upcoming dates for the months of April and May.

A. April 23rd: National Honor Society Blood Drive B. April 25th: Community Service Day from 11:30-3:20 C. April 28th and 29th: Iowa FFA Leadership Conference D. May 1st: HS Band Concert E. May 7th: Senior Awards Night and Baccalaureate F. May 9th: Southeast Polk EXPO for Industrial Tech Students G. May 16th: Commencement Practice for Seniors H. May 18th: Commencement at 2:00 PM

2. Professional Development at the high school. I am including a two-pagesummary of goals/learning that we will be pursuing during Professional Development for the 2014-15 school year. Our goal is to develop, implement, and assess concept-based units. There is a lot of time, effort, and learning that goes into creating and implementing these units. Professional Development is the avenue we use to educate our teachers on conceptual teaching. I can honestly say most of our staff has embraced the idea of teaching conceptually. On Tuesday, April 14th, we presented our potential PD plan to our PLC coaches—Eric McCollough, Erin Goddard, Melissa Salgado, Lanice Kock, and Marie Buse. Ben Wise was unable to attend the meeting but he will be briefed on the proceedings. The meeting went very well. We are going to now develop a three year professional development plan focused on Conceptual Teaching and the UbD format.

3. Iowa ASCD Conference: On Friday, April 11th, Tammy Vine, Melissa Salgado and I,along with members of the Newell-Fonda staff, presented our work with Conceptual Teaching to principals and teachers at the Iowa ASCD Conference. The Iowa ASCD Conference is an annual conference in which schools are spotlighted for doing exceptional things in their buildings. East Sac Elementary has presented several times on the RtI process. Our presentation was centered around the journey of developing conceptual teaching units following the Understanding by Design format and tied to Iowa Core. Being asked to present is a tribute to our teachers, the work of Barb Kruthoff and Jill Sundblad, and the support of students who do this work.

4. Graduation: We currently have 97 possible graduates for the Class of 2014. Mrs.Miller and I met with seniors on Tuesday, April 14th to discuss the final weeks before graduation. I have included the list of potential graduates and would like the Board of Education to approve the list subject to completing all graduation requirements.


5. April 25, 2014 will be our annual Community Service Day. Advisor groups will begoing out the communities and completing service projects. The students will get started at 11:30 and will complete the work at 3:20.

6. Summer School: The high school will be offering summer school from June 2nd-June 19th. The primary goal of summer school at the high school level is credit recovery. This allows a student who may be short several credits to earn back the credits in a summer school format. We also have several students taking summer school classes to open up their schedule in order to either graduate early or to allow them to take more college level classes. Summer school is held at the Flex Ed Building in Sac City.

7. Update on the stage at the high school. I have received several comments andconcerns related to the changes on the stage. The stage at the high school has been an eyesore for several years. Due to lack of storage at the high school, the stage was becoming a place to store volleyball standards, ping-pong tables, tumbling mats, and many other items often associated with the school. The curtains on the stage are in wretched shape. The stage was used for a few events but for the most part the auditorium in Sac City has become the place to have most of our fine arts events because it is just a better place to have fine arts events. I spoke with Brian Mahler about taking part of the stage and using it for storage. I spoke with our custodial staff about how much the stage is used. Based on this information it was decided to put in the storage closets on the stage. I also spoke with Kathryn Mosiman and told her we had platform risers or could purchase platform risers that would extend the stage to accommodate musical events/practices. Based on available space, the amount of use the stage was receiving, it was decided to take part of the stage and use it for storage. Mike Naberhaus put up a wall and created two storage closets.

We had the hypnotists in the small gym. Chairs were placed on the gym floor and everything went fine. The wall we built is bright white with no emblems. This makes for a quality movie screen instead of using the small portable movie screens. We now have storage to put a lot of stuff away instead of just sitting out. We will continue to accommodate the public when they need to use the small gym for public events. Also, on occasions where more stage space is needed, we will utilize stage extensions to accommodate needs.

Dear Superintendent or Board President,

As you may be aware, Kevin Fiene has accepted another superintendent’s position at the end of the fiscal year. At our special Board meeting on Thursday, April 10, the Board directed me to contact all contiguous districts to gauge interest in potential sharing possibilities for our vacant superintendent’s position. Also to be included, were any other districts that have Superintendent openings and are within a reasonable distance. We are also interested in sharing a curriculum director to help ease the work load of the shared superintendent and provide some continuity of what we’ve been doing with professional development et al.

Would you be interested in further discussions about the potential sharing possibilities with East Sac County Community School District? Please let me know either way as soon as possible. I am expected to provide a report to the Board at our April 21 meeting; they will need to either pursue a shared superintendent or begin the process to replace Kevin.

Sincerely,

John Kraft

Executive Summary This report is intended to summarize the findings of the energy analysis performed for East Sac County

Community School District as part of the school’s initiative to reduce energy use, improve energy

efficiency, and become more sustainable.

Annual Energy Costs & Performance

Based on a two-year average energy costs, district-wide, reach $162,700 annually, excluding water use.

Water costs add $15,000 each year for a district total of $177,700. Energy and water costs alone do not

provide enough insight as to the performance of facilities. Enter the Commercial Buildings Energy

Consumption Survey (CBECS) compiled by the Department of Energy.

The Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) is a national sample survey that

collects information on the stock of U.S. commercial buildings, their energy-related building

characteristics, and their energy consumption and expenditures. Commercial buildings include all

buildings in which at least half of the floor space is used for a purpose that is not residential,

industrial, or agricultural, so they include building types that might not traditionally be

considered "commercial," such as schools, correctional institutions, and buildings used for

religious worship.

The CBECS was first conducted in 1979; the tenth, and most recent survey, will be fielded starting

in April 2013 to provide data for calendar year 2012. CBECS is currently conducted on a

quadrennial basis.

This database can function as a national average for an array of buildings, sorted by size, age, function

and other characteristics. When comparing a buildings performance to this average, the building is

benchmarked and its performance and performance potential estimated. School buildings with like

characteristics of those used by the East Sac County Community School district use approximately 37.3

kBtu per square foot to 102.1 kBtu per square foot annually, according to the CBECS database; this total

energy use includes electric and gas usage. A summary of how East Sac County CSD’s buildings measure

up to this national average can be found in Table 1.





Table 1: Energy Costs and Benchmark

Outlying Buildings include Industrial Tech, Greenhouse, Bus barn, and Weight Room.

“Annual Energy Cost” based on 3 year average of utility bills.

“Energy Benchmark” is based on 3 year average and serves as the baseline to measure against moving

forward. “National Average Benchmark” determined from Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption

Survey (CBECS) compiled by Department of Energy.

http://www.eia.gov/consumption/commercial/

http://www.buildingbenchmarks.com/

Operating costs have been translated in to a Cost per Student, Cost per Square Foot, and Cost per Hour in the table below. These metrics may be useful in determining higher performers. It can be seen that a low Cost per Student does not necessarily mean low operating cost per hour or by square foot. Many observations can be made using these metrics. For instance one could determine that Wall Lake Elementary costs twice as much per square foot than Sac Elementary and yet has a lower per-student cost.

Energy Analysis and Savings Potential

Overview

Once facilities are benchmarked and energy usage is tallied, energy auditors can assess energy savings

potential and identify energy management opportunities. Through the use of an energy audit, analysts

will quantify the estimated cost and energy savings associated with each opportunity.

Each of the seven facilities was assessed. If each energy management opportunity were implemented

the district’s annual cost savings potential would be approximately $26,500. This equates to nearly

20,000 therms and 190,000 kWh. Lighting, HVAC, shell, water heating and controls were all areas with

room for improvement. These projects may total up to $770,000, paying back in 28.9 years.

Table 3: Energy Savings versus Biggest Energy Users


Annual Energy Costs

Estimated Annual Energy Savings

Percent Reduction in Energy Costs

Outlying Buildings $2,496 $437 20% Sac Elementary $32,039 $1903 6% Wall Lake $32,554 $4667 16% Ag Building $6,286 $175 2% High School $50,977 $10171 23% Middle School $35,592 $8545 25% Flex Ed Building $2,710 $584 21%





The lowest performing buildings stand to improve the most which the analysis supports. Some

exceptions exist and two are in the middle of the road; Ag and Wall Lake. Though the Ag building was a

poor performer according to the benchmark, savings potential is low overall. Conversely Wall Lake is

another middle of the road performer but this building shows potential to reduce usage by 20 percent.

And lastly, even though it is the top performing building in the district, the Bus Barn shows similar

potential to reduce usage by 20 percent.

Energy Management Opportunities (EMOs)

Yielding the projected savings requires a wide array of energy management opportunities throughout

the district. Solutions for each building are unique to that site though many similar projects are

applicable to multiple buildings. A list of all of the identified EMOs can be found below and further

information on each later in this report.

Table 4: Energy Management Opportunities

CFL Lighting Wall Insulation Cooling System Water Heating Exit Signs Weather-Stripping Fluorescent Lighting Parking Lot Lighting Heating System Roof Insulation High Bay Lighting

Of all the energy management opportunities, three should stick out; fluorescent lighting, heating, and

roof insulation. These three opportunities should the largest savings potential. When compared to a

breakdown of the implementation cost, however, it can be seen that the heating projects are less

attracting. The percent savings would ideally be larger than the percent of total cost to implement. This

shows that the two most attractive opportunities, with the highest savings and most reasonable cost,

are fluorescent lighting and roof insulation. Charts 1 and 2 show this comparison.

CFL, Fluorescent, High Bay, Parking Lot Lighting

These lighting projects could potentially save the district $11,700 annually. Compact Fluorescent Lamps

(CFLs) or Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) should be used wherever possible; including for parking lot,

security, and in lighting fixtures where incandescent are currently found.

High Bay lighting refers to fluorescent lamps and fixtures that have the “high output” designation and

can replace High Intensity Discharge (HIDs) lamps like metal halide or high pressure sodium. These

lamps are typically found in gymnasiums, shops or other areas with vaulted ceilings. Fluorescent lamps

with electronic ballasts will apply to all projects that recommend utilizing fluorescent high bay lighting.

Cooling System

Cooling system projects will vary, but high efficiency condensing units, window units, etc. are

recommended. Each report will contain information on existing equipment performance and

recommendations. Approximately $130 in cost savings were identified throughout the district. Though

this equipment is not a top priority, when replaced Energy Star or high efficiency units are

recommended.

Heating System

Gas heating system projects have the longest payback and so make up the largest piece of the “pie” in

terms of implementation costs (See Chart 2). These projects consist of improving the operating

efficiency of the boiler systems. Tactics to achieve this range from replaced aged, inefficient hot water

boilers with high efficiency condensing units to boiler retrofits. Replacing the boilers with high efficiency

counterparts have the highest implementation cost and these costs are depicted in the tables above.

Alternatively retrofitting the boilers could help to reduce the implementation cost while yielding a

majority of the estimated savings. Trim packages, vent dampers, intermittent ignition devices, right-

sizing, modulating aquastats (hot water boilers only), and time relay delay are some methods/practices

that could be used. Each boiler retrofit will be unique to that equipment but the energy savings could

reach up to 60% of the estimated savings for a high efficiency replacement, if not higher. Depending on

the retrofit and performance of the boiler, energy savings will vary; however for comparison the

following tables have been provided.

Table 6: Boiler Retrofit Impacts

Controls

In order to achieve more precise control and setback capability, conversion of pneumatic controls to

DDC controls at Wall Lake Elementary, Sac Elementary, Middle School, and the High School should be

investigated further. Besides energy savings due to more accurate setback scheduling and thermostat

zoning, nonmonetary benefits like maintenance savings and increased comfort may also be associated

with this conversion project. Impacts for this project have not been estimated nor included in the totals

above.

Exit Signs

Many facilities already had exits signs with LEDs, but some may have CFL or incandescent lamps. Retrofit

kits are available for purchase or the entire sign can be replaced so that LED lamps can be utilized. An

estimated $400 in annual savings could be achieved through these change-outs.

Sac Elementary $1,903 $188,030 98.8

Wall Lake $4,667 $181,790 38.9

High School $9,258 $143,093 15.4

Middle School $7,387 $131,933 17.8

Savings represent 60% of estimated savings for high efficiency boiler replacement.





Wall and Roof Insulation

Adding sufficient insulation to roofs, walls, crawl spaces, etc is recommended. In the energy audit report

more detail is provided on the existing R-value and the area more should be installed. An estimated

$5,700 in annual cost savings could be achieved be tightening up the specified facilities.

Water Heating

Savings opportunities for water heating projects will vary based on the type of equipment installed.

Throughout the district an estimated $400 in annual cost savings was identified. On Demand High

efficiency condensing water heaters have been used in many school districts and have been quite

favorable in terms of minimizing energy use. High efficiency equipment is, of course, recommended and

further exploration for water heating could determine more suitable and efficient options.

Weather-stripping

This could refer to insulation and tightening up doorways, windows, or window air conditioning units.

Each report will specify which area was included for the estimate. This is a low-cost remedy with savings

potential of approximately $300 each year.

Bus Barn

The Bus Barn is the highest performing facility in the district but could save up to 20 percent if all

measures were implemented. Water heating, weather-stripping and heating are also areas that hold

savings potential but have not been included here; new equipment or the need to determine which type

of equipment to use each are reasons for these opportunities being excluded at this time.

Table 7

Sac Elementary

Sac Elementary is the second highest performing facility in the district and could reduce energy usage by

up to 9 percent if the following were implemented. DDC Controls have not been included, as discussed

previously in this report and more information on the Gas Heating System options can be found in the

Heating System section above.

Table 9

Ag Building

Though the Ag Building is not one of the highest performing buildings in the district, savings potential as

a percentage of total energy use is only 3 percent of annual energy use. This indicates that this facility is

likely not a priority for “phase 1”.

The High School is the second lowest performing building in the district and as such holds significant

opportunity to save energy. With the energy management opportunities identified, the High School may

reduce annual usage by up to 20 percent. DDC Controls have not been included, as discussed previously

in this report and more information on the Gas Heating System options can be found in the Heating

System section above.

Goal Setting As discussed earlier the national average for like buildings ranges from 37.3- to 102.1 kBtu per square

foot. After implementing the identified mechanical, electrical and structural opportunities discussed

above, the high school will still have behavioral savings opportunities to capitalize on in order to reach

the average benchmark. The column graphs below show the sum of kBtu for each building; comprised of

infrastructural savings recommended via energy audits (green), behavioral savings potential (red), and

the benchmark goal. The total of each sum is the current operating kBtu for each building.

The other three buildings can be found in Graph 1b below. Behavioral modifications could help the Flex

Ed building reach the CBECS benchmark. The estimated behavioral cost savings are the difference

between the benchmarking goal and the new operating costs, post-implementation from infrastructural

measures. Savings may be achieved with a number of tactics and methods ranging from PC Power

Management to shutting lights off and honing in on phantom loads.
