This sounds like something that was talked about during last years budget discussion. The goal is to save $800,000 a year in energy costs. See the article for interesting details on how they plan to accomplish this.

Cost-cutting by degrees
Energy-saving plan focuses on efficiency
BY JOHN WELBES

"The St. Paul public schools are launching a plan that pushes the soft side of energy conservation, but not so soft that staff and students won't feel it.

Thermostats in school buildings are being set a degree or two cooler, and going even lower after school."
