Summary
The board approved an amendment to a master subgrant agreement with Cuyahoga County to participate in a regional Solar for Schools project; the award listed in the meeting packet was not to exceed $1,331,982 and the contract was amended to be contingent on available funds.
The Maple Heights Board of Education on March 17 approved an amendment to the Solar for Schools master subgrant agreement with Cuyahoga County that lists a grant award amount not to exceed $1,331,982.
The amendment updates a contract originally signed in July 2024 and, according to staff, adds language reflecting recent federal grant changes so the county’s subgrant is “contingent upon available funds.” Board members voted to approve the amendment during the meeting; the record shows the motion passed.
Why it matters: The district participates with other school districts in Cuyahoga County on the Solar for Schools project. The amendment allows the district to continue pursuing solar installation and financing options under the county’s grant framework, subject to final funding availability.
Details in the packet: Staff said the contract was originally executed in July 2024 as part of a multi‑district county program. The amendment does not specify new installation details in the meeting discussion; staff said further information is available in the contract documents attached to the board packet.
Action taken: The board approved the amendment by voice vote. The meeting record indicates the vote in favor by board members present.
