From the meeting
The study says the replacement school will be solar PV ready, and Option D would actually include roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and parking-lot canopies. That means the district is already planning for renewable-energy integration, even though the final option has not been awarded yet. This is useful for solar, electrical, and inverter vendors watching the design phase.
The next real decision point is the October 2026 design start.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
