We are not opposed to solar or other renewable energy sources! We ARE opposed to the manner in which the contract was entered into by the NASD Board of Education and Metrotek/Energy Alliance Group (Northampton), LLC. There was NO transparency with the entire process until the October 20th "groundbreaking", after the contract was already signed. This contract was entered into with no public comment or input. We are NOT satisfied with the proposal and DO NOT want to do business with Metrotek/EAG, LLC. We DO NOT want a 1.2 mW solar power plant, consisting of 6.5 acres, 7000+ panels, 13 feet in height, encompassing a vast majority of the play area at Lehigh Elementary School. This transaction goes against the will of the taxpayers. We are in agreement that the contract MUST be rescinded immediately. Then, a committee must be formed, and multiple proposals should be sought out to find the best options for conserving energy, saving money and selecting renewable energy alternatives that will benefit our school, our children and our community.

Petition entries using nicknames or invalid information will not be accepted.

The following are websites concerning the solar panels in the NASD and other school districts, pertinent info on the business partners our SB chose and other pages found while conducting research.  Apologies, they are in no particular order.
