Castro Valley Superintendent Clarifies Questions on School District's Solar Panel Projects
Castro Valley School District Superintendent Jim Negri tries to answer recent questions regarding the district's solar projects, which began this month.
In recent weeks, there have been a number of letters to the editor, posts to blogs, and questions about the solar projects.
I would like to clarify two very important facts:
- The district will save $100,000 per year over the life of the bonds. This equates to $2.1 million in net savings to the general fund during the first 20 years the system is in operation.
- The district is starting the project in March to qualify for $1.4 million in funding from P.G.&E, which reduces the cost of the project for the district.
I would encourage readers to review the detailed FAQ on the district web page, www.cv.k12.ca.us.
