The John Glenn School Board members reviewed a recommendation Tuesday night to sign a letter of intent to move forward with the solar project with Johnson Melloh Solutions.
Superintendent Christopher Winchell stated the board is attempting to reduce overall energy costs at the corporation, as well as provide a green energy curriculum for John Glenn students.
The solar array would be placed on green space on the property of the North Liberty Elementary School.
Johnson Melloh’s proposal for the project came in at $701,000 for a 350 kilowatt system with an upgrade to LED lighting and updated lighting controls. The project is expected to be complete this fall.
The board approved the letter of intent with a unanimous vote.
