District withdraws consideration for energy grant

The district is no longer pursuing a $500,000 state energy grant to install new heating and air conditioning and lighting systems in district facilities. Projects at Wa-Hi and Pioneer were being considered.

Superintendent Rich Carter said the December deadline to apply for the grant and the district's obligation to invest $750,000 prompted the decision.

"We just don't have enough time to do the research," Carter said. "In these economic times, it's difficult to commit funds against an uncertain budget."
