We have stared a new enviro. group at my school and are looking at ways of reducing our schools footprint
Any other suggestions?
Much appreciated

See the cost is calculated according to the resources that you have put into it:
1. Environmentally speaking, yes recycled paper is costlier as you have to cost the time taken to grow the tree, the resources that have gone into the tree, the cost of the amount of carbon dioxide that the tree was changing into oxygen, the cost of the cutting itself, the cost of pulping it, ... etc. etc.
2. For your school though, the cost will be dealt in the form of number of prints versus the cost. Easy, isnt it?

Cost Of Recycled Paper

I checked on this at Office Max the other day and to my surprise and dismay recycled paper was more expensive to purchase than regular paper.
I print or copy on the backside of misprints instead of using a brand new piece of paper. This works well as long as the information is not confidential.

Usually not, recycled paper is often cheaper (although it is usually of lesser quality (and is the cheapest product), but good enough for most uses).
Actually recycled paper is pretty much normal paper now (although it is often only part recycled).

recycling paper doesn't pay its way. Recently a trucker friend told our boy scouts he would just donate the cost of the fuel to haul their paper off. I t was costing more for the fuel than the waste paper brought.

The real saving is made by not using new resources, it is also the ethical choice.
Reduce your footprint by buying recycled, locally produced or second hand when possible.
Footprint just seems to be the latest political buzzword to justify price and tax rises.

Did you know that all paper produced in the United States is produced with trees grown specifically for making paper? Did you also know that paper is highly biodegradable? Not only that, but recycled paper costs more to produce than non recycled paper. That means that recycling paper neither saves trees, is a threat to the environment nor saves money/resources. So don't spend extra resources recycling paper. It's a waste. ;)
