Solar Panel Installation Progresses Quickly

The solar panel system would only generate a small percentage of the district’s electricity. But the district would save about $12,000 a year or approximately $360,000 over the 30-year life of the system.Monolith Solar has installed similar systems on other public buildings including the Rensselaer Public Library and the Schodack Highway Garage.
Schodack CSD would be the first school district in the county to have solar panels.

A community partnership working together to build a safe, respectful and substance free environment that utilizes local resources to encourage tolerance and healthy character.
Dear friends of the Schodack Castleton Community Partnership;

Please join us on Monday, February 13th at 7pm in the Maple Hill High School Library for an opportunity to help plan for the future of the coalition.

It has taken the dedication and hard work of many over the years to foster positive change and provide healthy activities in our community.  At this time, our coalition is struggling to continue to carry out the mission that has served Schodack and Castleton so well.
