 In response to requirements within Senate Bill 12 and House Bill 3693, signed by Governor Rick Perry in June 2007, effective as of September 1, 2007, all school districts must now establish a goal to reduce annual electric consumption by five percent (5%) each fiscal year, for the next six (6) years. In addition, school districts shall record in an electronic repository the metered amount of electricity, water or natural gas consumed for which the school districts are responsible to pay and the aggregate costs of those utility services.  Moreover, school districts shall then report the recorded information on a publicly accessible internet website with an interface designed for ease of navigation.
