WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. JANUARY 16, 2016:
In other action at the School Board this week, the Board tabled the decision to hire Solar City to install solar panels on 5 city schools: the high school, Eastview, Highlands, Ridgeway and Post Road School. Dr. Fried said the Board of Education had some questions.

Fred Seiler, Assistant Superintendent for Business said that the school would receive one guaranteed kilowatt rate for the electrictiy provided for those five schools, but would not receive any payments for excess electricity generate that Solar City would sell to the grid. The agreement is for 18 years, and would save the district approximately $1,000 a year.
