Energy Grants For Kentucky Schools
KENTUCKY...
First Lady Jane Beshear today announced that more than 120 Kentucky school districts will employ energy managers to create and implement energy efficiency programs over the next two years. Grants totaling $2.5 million, funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, have been awarded to 27 districts or multi-district partnerships through the School Energy Managers Program. Kentucky received $5.1 million in federal stimulus funds to support the energy manager program in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 fiscal years. The grants will fund a total of 33 new energy managers. The Kenton County Schools and several districts in the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative that already have energy managers will get funding for energy curriculum coordinator positions. Pike County will receive their share of the grant for the purpose of hiring an energy manager. The position should be filled by July 1.
