Summary
A Devon Drive resident told the board the district’s solar arrays are plainly visible from her living areas and asked staff to work with her to mitigate the visual impacts; district staff said they would follow up and promised to investigate.
At the board’s public‑comment period, a longtime neighbor said newly installed solar arrays near Devon Drive have taken over the view from her bedroom, living room and family room — "All I see is panels," she told the board — and asked district staff to help find a solution.
The resident said she has lived on Devon Drive since 1971 and that the panels are "closest to my house"; she described the installation as an "eyesore" and offered to let staff visit her property to assess the impact. A district representative thanked her for hosting a site visit and said "you have my word that we will work with you to mitigate the issue" and that the team would follow up with questions and next steps.
Why it matters: Facility projects on or adjacent to school property can cause neighborhood impacts; the district’s pledge to follow up establishes a clear next step for mitigation and community engagement.
What’s next: Staff said they will contact the resident and work toward mitigation. The board did not act on the comment; it was heard during the public‑comment period.
