District Meetings at Berrien RESA
Another type of meeting is the type of meeting we are focusing on for Green Meeting Month: our districts coming to our location for meetings.
Let’s see how much time and mileage it costs for all fourteen districts to send someone to a meeting at Berrien RESA. These calculations are for one direction and are rough estimates.

If everyone got comfortable with videoconferencing at their own site, we could save 12 hours and over $200 for each meeting that met over videoconferencing! Multiple that by the number of meetings and 10 months in the school year and it adds up quickly!
