Facing diminishing budgets and increased operating costs, districts across the country must make some very difficult choices. Some districts are even at the point of having to close schools. One strategy that might help schools reduce operating costs and allow administrators to redirect those savings to salaries, facilities, and curricula is wind power. Wind power is a clean, renewable option to stabilize or reduce energy costs and is currently hard at work at many public and private institutions. However, it's not something that districts can implement quickly. A wind project may require one to three years of preliminary research and planning before construction. The author discusses how educators are considering wind power as a solution for many of the economic and environmental challenges they face.
