  • Summary

  • In Part 2 of our two-part podcast, Veronica Niter, Energia's Vice President of Business Development continues her discussion with Verjeana McCotter-Jacobs, Executive Director and CEO of the National School Board Association (NSBA), about some of the steps that school districts and their board members must take to ensure that nearly century old school buildings are renovated in ways that provide safe, equitable learning environments for students.

    Among the approaches Verjeana discusses is the importance of fostering local government and public/private partnerships to make collective decisions about the funding necessary to deliver building improvements. She points out that research recognizes the ability for well-designed, well-equipped buildings to benefit both students and educators. She notes that the NSBA encourages school districts to review policies that impact energy usage and savings that can directly support local school districts.
