As part of a program to go Green, northwest suburban school districts in the Buffalo Grove and Long Grove area  are attempting to go paperless and rely solely on email for communication to parents.  At the forefront of this initiative is School District 96, which serves portions of Buffalo Grove and Long Grove. According to Betsy Fresen, public information coordinator, they are using broadband rather than backpacks to send school newsletters. District 96 has estimated that this initiative has saved the school between $20,000 and $22000,.  Additionally, going paperless  will save  the environment.   That to me is Priceless!    Less important reasons include- my kitchen won't get cluttered with papers,  and my kids don't have to show me the monthly newsletter on Sunday night at 10:00 pm ,... 09/20/2008
