Improvement projects top school board agenda

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign school district is working on plans to air-condition Garden Hills Elementary School this summer, and replace all of the lighting and the boilers at that school and Centennial High School.

The projects are aimed at making the buildings more energy-efficient and testing how a method of financing called performance contracting could pay for improvements at other schools in the district.
