Strategy 1 - Recycled Paper
Maintain the use of recycled paper.
Support sustainability on campus.
Strategy 2 - Printing Work Order System
Develop and Implement electronic work order system for printing jobs, and track and analyze print activity.
Paper-based work orders are wasteful and unsustainable. Electronic tracking of work orders will allow analysis of operations and will help identify opportunities for increased efficiency and reduced paper usage.
Strategy 3 - Reduce paper usage
Support the District's initiative to reduce paper usage.
•Continue to reduce or eliminate the use of no carbon required (NCR) paper on campus.
•Encourage the campus to adopt digital format.
Support the District's initiative to reduce paper usage.
Strategy 4 - Analyze Contracts
Analyze service providers when renewing contracts.
Utilizing local vendors and government consortium sources can help reduce budgets and provide more efficient services for the campus.
Strategy 5 - Equipment Replacement
Establish an equipment replacement program.
All equipment has a finite life and will eventually need to be replaced. Proactive planning for this replacement will allow better decision making and an orderly process. Current replacement value of equipment is $4K. This will replace the current spiral comb and finisher. This piece of equipment is used on a daily basis to support all of the District instructional program and support services programs. It has reached its life expectancy and is in need of replacement. The spiral comb and finisher is $4K.
