Minnechaug Class of '99 here. I went to school in the old building, which was built in 1954. Not relevant at all.

Too bad the article doesn't state what thee monthly electric bill was--because I am curious, although I can see how the figure could lead to the increasing chance of some asshat making death threats to a town councilor, or superintendent.

The article is likely not stating it because the admins won't say:

>Osborne said it’s difficult to say how much money it's costing because during the pandemic and in its aftermath, energy costs have fluctuated wildly.

>“I would say the net impact is in the thousands of dollars per month on average, but not in the tens of thousands,” Osborne said.

It wouldn't be difficult to figure it out, and "not tens of thousands oer months" isnt encouraging. The whole thing is due to the board mandating a fly-by-night green system where when something happens no other companies know what to do, but what I dont understand is why someone wasnt just flipping breakers at night. I can understand you can't flip the main, but surely there are breakers lol
