BILL NUMBER:S5822
Title of bill
An act relating to the cost allowance used to compute aid for capital improvement projects for the South Country central school district
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill would restore $1,17 Million in building aid to the South Country Central School District (CSD).
Summary of specific provisions
Restores $1.17 million in building aid to the South Country CSD in relation to certain green energy projects.
Justification
The South Country CSD made green energy improvements to school district buildings in the form of solar power installations (six projects in all). The goal was two-fold: The district was fulfilling the wishes of the community, which had approved a bond for the purpose, "to go green," and the district would realize savings from the effort for the community in the form of incentives through LIPA's Solar Pioneer Program. The incentives and savings, however, were nullified when the State Education Department reduced building aid for the six projects by a total of $1.17. The South Country CSD was not aware that these reductions would occur at the time they contracted for the improvements.
