Energy manager helps Canfield schools save money

In response to "Mother of 3"

There is nothing good and positive about an unnecessary program being implemented while quality teaching positions are being eliminated. And furthermore, just as what you posted is your opinion, what I posted is mine, not the "toxic draino," you call anyone whose thoughts differ from your own. As a parent of three I would hope that if your children are attending the Canfield Local Schools, you at the very least value the quality of teachers whose jobs hang in the balance as the administration continues to make decisions such as these.

Energy manager helps Canfield schools save money

So let's see, according to business manager Rich Archer, "Since July, the Canfield district has paid $30,000 to participate in Energy Education," a figure which onlly includes approximately half of Delon’s $17,000 annual stipend. That means the district has actually spent 38,500 since July for a savings in utility costs of $73,218. Do the math.

The district actually saved $34,718, not 73,218; an amount that most certainly could have been accomplished by repairing leaky faucets, installing a few thermostat controls and holding staff accountable for consciencous energy control to existing administration without hiring an "energy control specialist." Sounds like Delon's "job" could have saved one of those on the chopping block due to levy failure.

Canfield Schools needs to stop blaming the community for it's lack of levy support, and refrain from riduculous decisions like these which are costing the students the teachers they deserve, because until they do, Canfield levies don't stand a chance.

And to think they wanted to boast about this in the Vindy.

Tressel suspended for two games, fined $250,000

Wow - I was completely unaware just how many perfect people exist in Youngstown who've never in their life made a questionable choice. At the very least, Tressel shows the integrity to face the music with honesty, humility, and remorse.

Glass houses anyone?

YSU students describe post-shooting campus as 'dim'

There is plenty to do in Youngstown and its surrounding area. Every city has bars and alcohol available near community college campuses. There are countless churches available and a YMCA right downtown. Involvement in crime, drugs, alcohol and violence is a personal choice, not the fault of the City of Youngstown, it's police department, the University or its security. Accept responsibility for your actions and stop blaming everyone and everything around you. Thousands attend YSU, in downtown Youngstown including my own children, and have wonderful college experiences, graduate and make a life for themselves - it's all a choice.
