District installs LED exterior lighting, seeks playground grant for Pine Beach Elementary
Summary
Facilities staff reported a lighting upgrade at Silver Bay Elementary under a JCP&L rebate (about 30 poles at approximately $30 per pole) and said the district submitted a playground grant request for Pine Beach Elementary with local municipal support.
Facilities staff told the Buildings & Grounds meeting they began replacing exterior lighting at Silver Bay Elementary under a JCP&L rebate program with Cooper Electric; staff said about 30 poles are being replaced and that district crews will perform the installations to realize long-term LED energy savings. "That school is costing us $30," a staff member said to illustrate the per-pole net cost after rebates.
Staff also said the district submitted a playground grant application for Pine Beach Elementary with assistance from the mayor and council and is hopeful the grant will fund new playground equipment. Both items were presented as part of ongoing capital and grant activity tied to summer projects and neighborhood needs.
Why it matters: LED upgrades reduce long-term energy and maintenance costs and playground grants can improve elementary school facilities for children.
