Regional School District 15’s Board of Education voted to approve final education specifications for a planned solar installation at Long Meadow Elementary School.
The motion to approve the specifications was moved and seconded by Sally Romano; during roll call the measure carried unanimously, according to board minutes from the meeting. Board discussion focused on confirming the education‑specs language and ensuring the application materials reflected the district’s intent to pursue state reimbursement if eligible.
Administrators noted a June 30 deadline for any state reimbursement application and outlined a timeline that would bring education‑spec adoption to the board in advance of that submission. The specifications authorize the district to proceed with the application process and to assemble a building committee with at least one member possessing structured industry experience as part of the application requirements.
Next steps: staff will finalize application paperwork and include the May 26 meeting minutes and any required documentation for the June 30 submission window.
The board also noted future meetings for ongoing finance and board business.
