Board hears facilities update: middle-school project on schedule and rooftop solar installation proceeding
Summary
Board members were told the middle-school construction project is on plan and within budget, with no expected impact on school opening; high-school rooftop solar panels are scheduled for installation in mid-August with battery connections producing energy by October and system tuning in November.
Board members received a facilities update reporting steady progress on the middle-school renovation and rooftop solar installation at the high school.
The facilities committee reported that although a few surprises were uncovered when the building was opened, the overall project remains on plan and within budget and is not expected to delay the start of school. The committee said batteries for the rooftop solar system have been delivered and that installation of panels is slated to begin in mid-August, with initial energy capture expected by October and system tuning anticipated in November.
Members discussed operational details, including conservative initial programming for motion-sensitive lighting so staff do not find lights turning off unexpectedly, and the logistics of applying for energy rebates. The board thanked facilities staff and contractors for progress and noted continued oversight during the coming weeks.
