consumption was $1.18/square foot. The utility cost consumption per
student (using the 159 students enrolled in 2008-09) was $477/student.
The Project Consultants concluded that the School District of Bruce’s
comparatively (to neighboring school districts) lower utility expenses were
likely attributable, in part, to the multi-level facility design and more
cost/effective ratio of facility square footage/student.
The Project Consultants concluded that the higher utility consumption
cost/square foot in Ladysmith-Hawkins School District was attributable, in
part, to specialty facilities not available in neighboring school districts (e.g.
pool), more extensive facility usage by the public and alternative
programming, the high school’s expansive, single story facility design, and
a much more cost/ineffective facility square foot/student ratio.
The Project Consultants concluded that Weyerhaeuser Area School
District’s cost/ineffectively high utilities cost consumption was largely
attributable to the cost/ineffectively high volume of square footage
allocation per student (402.8 square feet/student).
