The North Pocono School District Board of Education on July 16 approved an energy services consulting agreement with USource LLC. The agreement authorizes USource to work with the district to create a request for proposals for an approved solar project; the motion passed unanimously, 8–0.

Board members did not record additional terms in the meeting minutes; the motion as stated indicates the consultant’s role is to develop the RFP for the district’s previously approved solar project. No dollar amount or contract length was read into the public record during the meeting.

Next steps: the district will expect USource to complete an RFP draft to enable vendor bids; further board action will be required to approve any contractor selection or project financing.
