Your Building as a Teaching Tool
Your Building as a Teaching Tool
By Sean P. Carney
ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT/ BUSINESS
ADLAI E. STEVENSON HSD 125
Schools are the buildings where education occurs, they should reflect a commitment to the present and a vision for going green.
Managing budgets, completing state reports and certifying payroll are just a few of the major responsibilities for a chief school business official. However, one responsibility that is often overlooked is that of the role CSBOs play as construction managers for their districts. Usually, CSBOs are more concerned with budgets and timelines; however, now more than ever, we should pay closer attention to how we approach choices related to how our schools are built. At Adlai E. Stevenson HSD 125, we are committed to renovating and building our school to reflect what we are teaching students so our students can learn from how our school is constructed. For us, how our school is built is a tool in the educational process, inspiring a commitment to renewable energy, sustainability and our environment. Schools are the buildings where education occurs; they should reflect a commitment to the present and a vision for going green. Plus, students can learn a great deal from the choices that go into how we approach the architecture and construction of a school building.
