Some good news- announcement from District 1 School Board representative, Liz Doerr, on Medium.com:
Richmond, Va. — As the new school year begins, Richmond Public Schools is making moves toward a bright year and an even brighter future thanks to a generous grant from the Community Foundation and a partnership with innovative clean energy company Secure Futures Solar. RVA Solar Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond, recently committed the $100,000 award to support a new Sustainability Associate position for RPS, as well as the purchase and installation of energy monitoring systems at selected school sites.
Congratulations is in order to Scott Burger who has persistently pushed for solar collectors on our school buildings for many years! This will both save energy and become an important teaching tool.
