Montgomery Public School Board considers converting all lights to LEDs in cost-cutting move

In an effort to decrease the district's power usage while saving money, Montgomery Public School Board members are considering a proposal to convert all school light fixtures to LEDs. During an Oct. 7 board meeting, Director of Operations Chad Anderson and a representative of LED Solutions presented a plan that after the light fixture conversion, would save the district $3.6 million in electrical bills over the next 10 years. The contract would cost $6.9 million. The savings projected by the company are after paying for the contract.
