EANES ISD The district consid- ered options for future energy effi- ciency and conservation measures at the Oct. 18 meeting. As part of a potential $110 million-$130 million bond package in May or Nov. 2023, the district discussed the allocation of $21.85 million for the installation of solar panels at every campus across the district, building system enhancements and athletic lighting upgrades. These changes could save the district $800,000 in operating costs annually. The solar panel installations would cost about $14.4 million of the amount set aside for energy efficiency and conservation, while the athletic lighting upgrades allot $988,000 for University Interscho- lastic League field pole lighting replacements and $1.08 million for athletic pole lighting improvements
