• • <br />EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM <br />• Basic Description <br />- The .Educational Outreach Program is intended to involve local <br />school districts in the statewide residential energy cost <br />control program at no cost to the districts. HL&P will offer <br />educational materials to supplement existing energy conser- <br />vation instructional efforts in local high schools and middle <br />schools. <br />- High school teachers in appropriate grade/subject areas will <br />be given information packets containing the QUEST survey, <br />to be completed by students and their families. The finished <br />questionnaires will be processed by Planergy and individual <br />home energy analyses returned to students. <br />- For middle school teachers, HL&P will provide "Conservation <br />Concepts: Saving Energy and Dollars" workbooks. These <br />workbooks contain an energy checklist which students can use <br />at home to evaluate family energy usage. <br />Special Program Benefits <br />- Community wide involvement in the statewide program will be <br />significantly enhanced by direct involvement of the various <br />• public school systems in our service area. <br />- This outreach effort will strengthen existing ties with <br />educational institutions by providing direct energy cost <br />control assistance materials. <br />- Through this intensive program, HL&P has the opportunity to help <br />students learn cost control strategies before many of them begin <br />paying their own utility bills. <br />Targeted Participation <br />- Our goal is to reach 10,000 students in high schools and middle <br />schools within the HL&P service area. <br />Possible Long Term Program Applications <br />- To evaluate the continuation of this type of educational outreach <br />we will assess the program by: <br />1. Teacher response forms <br />2. Tallying processed QUEST surveys <br />3: Record the number of workbooks distributed. <br />n <br />~J <br />
