Operations Department
“Our maintenance, grounds, custodial and technology departments have been working hard completing a lot of extra tasks every summer, really since 2019. With the completion of these major construction projects and some of our larger repair items, we’re looking forward to a great year at a slower pace.”
- Dr. Curtis Chesick, Assistant Superintendent of Operations
Solar panels were installed at West Elementary last spring, and officially went online in early August, generating more than 75 megawatts of power in three weeks. This puts us on track to save approximately $100,000 per year.
After a complete tear-off and roof replacement at South Elementary over the summer, the roof is now ready for the installation of solar panels, which started in late August.
