DECATUR, Ill. (WAND)- Decatur Public Schools are taking the steps to go green!

During Tuesday night's board meeting members heard a pitch from energy advisors NANIA.

The consultants recommend the district install solar panel projects on the following six school campuses: 

  • The New Ellsworth Dansby Junior Magnet School
  • Franklin Grove Elementary
  • Hope Academy
  • Muffley Elementary
  • Stephen Decatur Middle School
  • Eisenhower High School

The power purchase agreement would include no upfront cost to the district, and could then buy power at a reduced rate. Board members will vote later this month whether to begin the process of requesting proposals from solar providers.
