Linn-Mar Community School District Associate Superintendent Rick Ironside presented a report on the district's energy usage in the past year at Monday night's meeting of the Linn-Mar school board.

Ironside presented the board with data showing a month-by-month comparison of the district's energy usage for each month from the end of fiscal year 2009 into the current time in fiscal year 2010.

The data shows that the district's energy consumption has decreased over this time period. Although the data did not reflect the almost 7 percent rate increase from Alliant Energy that occurred during this time period, Ironside stated that the district is in good shape in regard to energy usage.
