Energy Department Puts $178 Million Into Public School Upgrades: Two Bridgeport, Connecticut Elementary Schools Win $3.6 Million
The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, announced on November 12 that the U.S. Department of Energy has selected a proposal submitted by the University of Connecticut and Bridgeport Public Schools to implement comprehensive energy efficiency and renewable energy projects at two of the city's public schools, with a total award of $3.6 million, of which over $3 million is expected to be invested in technology and upgrades for the schools.
The two schools are Geraldine Johnson Elementary and Luis Munoz Marin Elementary. Their equipment retrofits and upgrades will serve as demonstration sites for all 39 schools in Bridgeport and for thousands statewide and nationally. The award is part of the department's $500 million Renew America's Schools program, whose first tranche of funding the department more than doubled, from $80 million to $178 million.
The project also supports workforce development, funding scholarships for students in apprenticeship programs at the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System and internships for engineering students at Housatonic Community College and UConn, who will work on engineering design, construction management, and measurement and verification. UConn will also develop and deliver K-12 learning modules on energy efficient technologies for Bridgeport students. (Source: U.S. Department of Energy)
