MISHAWAKA — School City of Mishawaka has already taken some steps to cut $4.7 million from its budget over the next two years.

People with children in Mishawaka schools may already know about some of the energy conservation moves.

They include basics like turning off lights when a room is empty and turning the thermostat back to 60 degrees when everybody leaves the building.
