RRMR Solar Array

Proposed Solar Field

Why A Solar Array for RRMR

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.
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.
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.
