At an Operations Committee meeting of the Board of Trustees of Mineral Point Schools on Feb. 4, 2026, members of the Earth Wise Club — Kalea Biddick and Dr. Dunn Austi Leigh — asked the committee to consider installing a small ground-mounted solar array at the district’s middle/high school as a pilot educational project.
The presenters summarized findings from an energy audit and highlighted potential benefits including hands-on learning opportunities and the possibility of offsetting some electricity costs over time.
