The following procedure is intended as a guide to be used when school closing is contemplated, and upon which local board policy may be based. The procedure is presented in a sequential manner; however, its sections may be used separately or together as local conditions require. It is primarily intended to identify the various kinds of information to be considered, as well as the particular processes to be undertaken by the local board of education prior to closing a school.

Few states have pursued consolidation of rural schools more aggressively than West Virginia. With the promise of broader curriculum and huge tax savings, the state has closed more than 300 schools, one in every five, since 1990. In 2002, the Charleston Gazette investigated the outcomes of the state's consolidation efforts in the series, "Closing Costs." Its authors, reporters Eric Eyre and Scott Finn, won the 2002 Education Writers Award for best series for a newspaper with circulation under 100,000 and the Fred M. Hechinger Grand Prize for Education Reporting.

The Learning Landscapes project is a response to those in higher education who are concerned that decision making about the development of the learning and teaching environment is not as effective as it could be. Learning Landscapes offers the higher education community a practical and conceptual framework to consider the ways in which learning and teaching spaces are being designed and developed. This notion of ‘community’ extends to all who work in universities: academics, support and professional staff, as well as existing and potential students.

Business Case for Grid Neutral Going grid neutral isn’t a challenge— it is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to lock in electricity costs providing financial predictability for your district and lower energy bills. It is an opportunity for cost avoidance for your district. And, if structured properly, it can all be done with no capital costs to your district.

Electricity costs represent the key element of the business case for schools and colleges going grid neutral. Imagine reducing payments to the utility company by 20 to 30 percent and sometimes more. Then imagine what you can do with money not spent on electricity. If a school district pays $6.2 million to its utility company per year, this might be used to hire more new teachers or purchase more than 104,000 textbooks, or buy 6,200 computers. Any one of these expenditures contributes directly to the district’s mission of educating our children.
