The district is installing solar shade structures at each of its schools. The structures will be installed in school parking lots, except for Oak School where the structures will be installed on the play area blacktop. Installing the solar structures will enable us to save hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and reduce our carbon footprint, equivalent to 3.5 million pounds of CO2 annually.
Construction will begin October 23 and continue through December. Construction fencing is scheduled to be installed on October 23 and all work and materials will be contained within the fenced area. Traffic and parking will be impacted on and around the school sites and the District during construction. We are working with police and traffic control departments to mitigate the impacts on the school neighborhoods.
