As school expenses rise, it becomes even more important to find new ways to minimize cost. High performance schools are an innovative and cost-effective alternative in controlling operation and maintenance expenses.

Extractions: Take your children out of public schools. OAS_AD('Middle'); That's what James Dobson, founder of the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family, told more than five million American listeners in a March 28 broadcast of his daily radio show. Why are they discontented? Some parents worry about the lack of religious or "moral" values; other parents point to low academic standards or bias against male students. (Dobson objected to "homosexual propaganda" that teaches, for example, that "bisexuality is normal.") The common denominator is that parents wish to choose the values and standards by which their children are educated. The campaign against public schools snowballed April 9 when the popular radio personality Dr. Laura Schlessinger declared, "I stand with Dr. James Dobson." Indeed, Dr. Laura did not restrict her comments to California. "Take your kids out of public schools," she advised. The same day, in his Christian talk show Point of View broadcast over 360 American radio stations Marlon Maddoux added his agreement.

Alternative Fuel School Buses (AFBs) DOE's National Alternative Fuels Hotline U.S. school buses carry their precious cargoes across 5 billion miles each year. Most of those miles are traveled by buses using diesel and gasoline. Nearly 60 percent of the nation's school buses run on diesel while 40 percent run on gasoline. Buses that run on these petroleum-based fuels expose: When combusted, all petroleum-based fuels release potentially harmful substances. Diesel-fueled school buses may pose a greater health risk, as their exhaust is high in particulates. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency classifies particulates as probable human carcinogens. Particulates are also increasingly associated with lung diseases, such as asthma.
