Energy projects in schools can do more than reduce costs — they can create powerful learning opportunities.

In this episode of School Business Insider, host John Brucato talks with Dawn Johnson, Director of Customer Engagement at OPTERRA Energy Services, about how school districts can leverage energy initiatives to support sustainability, STE(A)M education, and community engagement.

They explore how clean energy projects become living laboratories for students, how priorities around energy have evolved over time, and what school leaders should consider as they evaluate their own energy programs.

This conversation offers a fresh perspective on how operational decisions can align with instructional goals and long-term district strategy.
