Welcome to the schools of the future (dramatic echo)! Funding to equip eight schools in the South Colonie school district with solar panels has been recently approved. What this means is that this could potentially save the school district nearly $1.7 million over the next 20 years.

This is great news because this school could be powered almost only on solar power. And powering our schools with solar power is a fantastic alternative to what the schools used to be powered by, which I believe was just old burning tires?
