Strategies to help manage your budget
Keeping natural gas costs under control
Cold days mean more money being spent to heat school buildings and less money for classroom needs. But, MSBA's Natural Gas Consortium can help school districts across Missouri see meaningful cost savings. Even the smallest districts have found that the program makes a worthwhile difference in their natural gas bills.

Offering unique solutions for costly capital improvements
If your district needs capital improvements that are beyond the budget, consider the services offered by MSBA partner, Custom Energy, LLC. Working with districts in need of such projects, Custom Energy develops, designs, constructs and finances capital improvement projects that are paid for by the energy savings that results from the completed project. It's an innovative approach to creating more energy-efficient school facilities and securing needed capital improvements - for zero net capital outlay.
