Derby schools to save $96k in high gas bill settlement

The Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) reached a settlement with Derby schools’ natural gas provider, Symmetry, over a high winter gas bill –saving the district $96,136.19. KASB had been negotiating on the district’s behalf to reduce an exorbitantly high gas bill accrued during the extreme cold snap that hit Derby and the surrounding area in February. During an average winter month, the district pays about $35,000 to $50,000 for natural gas. In February, the bill was $209,595.09, or more than $17 per British Thermal Unit (MMBtu) – a standard unit of measure for natural gas. The settlement brings that down to $113,459.90.
