Superintendent Chris Brooks told the Executive Committee on Dec. 9 that the Louisiana Public Service Commission awarded the Claiborne Parish School Board a Public Entity Energy Efficiency Grant for funding up to $265,000 to support lighting improvements at Haynesville High School's football field and, if funds allow, lighting upgrades at Homer High School.
Brooks said the grant will be used for Haynesville High's field lighting and that lighting for Homer High would be considered upon availability of remaining funds. He said the district will open a competitive-bid process to ensure compliance with the grant's guidelines.
The minutes do not provide a project schedule, contractor names, or a breakdown of how the $265,000 would be allocated between sites.
