RRMR Solar Array

Proposed Solar Field

Why A Solar Array for RRMR

n Currently RRMR is spending $150,000 per
year in electrical costs. The per pupil cost to
the district for energy is $370. City of
Rockford projects 5% increases for at least
the next three years.
n RRMR has had significant declining
enrollment for the past 15 years. This
affects the districts general fund, which is
the money that directly impact students.
n RRMR has lost spending authority over the
last three years. The solar array will save
money where we need it the most- in our
general fund. The general fund is the money
that directly impacts students and teachers.
