Erv covers McKinstry

Dean Baker of McKinstry Company gave a great talk on the partnerships between Northshore School District and the McKinstry Company. These partnerships go back to the years 2003, and the partnerships in general are designed to make the Northshore School District buildings run efficiently and cost-effectively. The results of these partnerships are quite remarkable.
