Ridgemont Superintendent Emmy Beeson reported at the Thursday evening board of education meetingthat the district’s new grades pre-K through 12 building has been rated as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver building by the U.S. Government.
LEED is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council “to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design,” Beeson explained.
The five focus areas for design in a LEED-rated building are sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality.
Also during the meeting, the board passed a resolution recognizing the Ridgemont FFA Chapter and adviser Stephanie Jolliff for being selected as one of the Top Ten FFA Chapters in the state for the 10th year in a row.
