CCSD21 approves contract for interior lighting replacement at Cooper

The Community Consolidated School District 21 Board of Education on March 21 approved an amended agreement with Performance Services to install LED lighting at Cooper Middle School.

The district has an existing agreement with the company for installation of lighting and/or mechanical upgrades in its buildings. It previously used PSI for boiler replacements at Twain Elementary School and for lighting at London Middle School.

The project, with an approximate cost of $595,939, will be completed by the end of summer. Once it is completed, all CCSD21 schools will have LED lighting throughout the buildings, an upgrade that aims to improve all educational environments. In addition to upgrading the classroom settings for students, the LED lighting is more energy efficient and provides a cost savings to the district in regards to its annual utility costs.
