Solar Farms Powering Schools

New York school districts are turning unused land—like old hayfields and empty bus garage lots—into solar farms, slashing energy bills and freeing up cash for student programs. Students are driving the push for greener campuses, and leaders are responding. The Schoharie Central School District’s solar project, funded by state aid and voter approval, took years to approve but promises decades of savings. With solar arrays expected to last 20 years, districts gain financial stability against tax hikes or budget cuts. The state is now streamlining the process to help more schools follow suit, turning clean energy into a powerful tool for education.
