Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. will see more than half a million dollars in annual savings when it takes major steps later this year to reduce its carbon footprint across its 21 buildings.
The school board approved a $4.85 million bond on Monday for the corporation’s energy management project. The board held a public hearing Monday for the bond.
At the board’s May 13 meeting, BCSC director of operations Brett Boezeman proposed two energy-saving initiatives for the corporation to consider.
These initiatives include retrofitting all current light fixtures with 14-watt LED lights and install rooftop solar panels to Northside Middle School and Taylorsville Elementary School.
