Young Leadership Plenty Participant Contributes to the Community
Cody Morgan, a recent high school graduate and leadership plenty graduate, has identified a need in his community and is taking action to mobilize community members to get on board. During the past school year several staff members were released from their contracts because of budget problems. Community meetings suggested that other ways might be available to address the budget short fall. Cody organized classmates to investigate ways to cut energy costs at the school. He gathered information from other school districts who have built wind turbans to generate energy for their buildings. Cody meet recently with the Wayne County Board of Education to make a presentation on his findings and has received their blessings to continue to work on determining the feasibility of adopting this and other conservation efforts. Cody is currently recruiting members of the community to serve as a committee for further investigation.
