CARPENTERSVILLE – District 300 is one step closer to becoming one of
the first Illinois school districts to use a wind farm to reduce energy
costs.
Gov. Pat Quinn recently signed into law the School District
Intergovernmental Cooperation Renewable Energy Act, which authorizes
school districts to acquire and build facilities that convert wind or
solar power to energy.
Last year, Carpentersville District 300 joined a School Wind
Consortium with Keeneyville District 20 and Prospect Heights District
23.
With the new law that went into effect Friday, the three districts
are onto Phase II of their project. (more)
