Fayette County Public Schools is dedicated to energy efficiency and sustainability, which are important to protect our environment, to preserve our natural resources and to encourage responsible spending of our community’s tax dollars.

• Goals

The school board-approved E=USE² program (Education leads to Understanding Sustainability, Energy and the Environment) is designed to educate everyone about energy efficiency and conservation and to promote sustainable and energy efficient habits.

FCPS has adopted green building practices in all our new construction and renovation projects to ensure that our schools are environmentally friendly.

We have also committed to improving the energy efficiency in our buildings and created a Sustainability Council to provide direction. In addition, FCPS is an Energy Star partner and has signed up to take the Energy Star Challenge to reduce consumption.
