The purposes of this study were to compare the opinions of superintendents and their perceptions of community attitudes in Nebraska's K-12 school districts concerning procedural changes designed to conserve energy and to relate selected variables to the assessment values. On the basis of the literature review, a questionnaire was developed. Participants were superintendents in Nebraska school disticts who were asked to identify their own attitudes and also to estimate community attitudes toward selected procedural changes. Data were analyzed primarily through crosstabulation procedures. Findings from the literature review suggested that communities objected less to operational changes than school administrators; energy conservation through mid-winter school closing found widest acceptance among administrators. Data from the study indicated that there was little support for the suggested procedural changes.
