Rule is expected to save the district $60,000 a year in energy costs
As part of a new energy policy in the Glendale (Calif.) Unified School District, teachers must remove most personal appliances, such as microwaves and coffee makers, from their classrooms. The rule was approved last summer as part of a broader energy policy. District officials say cutting those appliances will save $60,000 per year.
