School committee clears RMLD EV charging stations at high school with faculty-student signage
Summary
The committee authorized moving forward with a license agreement for two EV charging stations at the middle/high school campus, conditioned on signage restricting daytime use to students and staff; vote was unanimous.
The school committee authorized the administration to finalize a license agreement with RMLD to install two electric vehicle charging stations at the middle/high school campus, with a binding stipulation that signage limit primary use to students and staff.
Michael Connell, who has worked with RMLD on siting and logistics, said the utility would own and operate the chargers and users would pay RMLD for charging. Several committee members raised safety and access concerns about placing publicly visible chargers near areas where children are present; Julie asked that signage and usage restrictions be included in the contract. The committee adopted a motion to approve pursuing the contract provided signage restricts use to students and faculty: that motion passed on a roll-call vote, 5–0.
Administration noted operational details remain (charging time, signage, enforcement, and how to manage a small number of spaces). The district will work with RMLD to finalize terms and share guidance for staff and families.
