Board borrows $533,051 for LED lighting
What happened
The board adopted a resolution on Feb. 4, 2026 for a $533,051 lease-purchase of LED lighting equipment. Work at Carrabec Community School and Carrabec High School was finished by fall, Solon was still waiting, and Garret Schenck was dropped from the project in March.
Why it matters to families
A lease-purchase is paid back over time from future budgets. The district says it finished in time to keep the maximum Efficiency Maine refund, which lowers the net cost.
