I read an interesting article in the newspaper the other day. Yes I did say newspaper and my fingers are smudged black to prove it.It was kind of ironic as the article was all about saving paper and trees and how web communications can save big money for school districts.
When I read the numbers I near fell off my chair…One district in Massachusetts with about 6,100 students was spending $72,623 year sending notices and newsletters home to parents.
$72,623 …producing 21 tons of paper and eating up about 50 trees!
I’m no tree hugger but that really made me want to be one.
One elementary school reported that not everyone has e-mail or computers but hundreds of parents have signed up for the e-mail version of the school newsletter so they now only send out about 30 newsletters via snail mail saving them some big money.
I think that sounds like a great idea!
Some New Hampshire schools are testing a parent access link for posting attendance and progress reports and many now have their student handbooks posted on-line.
I was happy to note that Hampstead New Hampshire schools post their sports schedules, school calendar, school announcements and the school handbook all on line. Progress reports and report cards still eat some trees though.
Maybe that will change soon….think about that Hampstead voters when school budget time arrives. Imagine what kind of money we could save?
