James A. Garfield Local Schools is proud to announce an LED lighting retrofit project underway at the Elementary School — a smart investment that benefits both our students and our community.
This upgrade will improve visibility and create a brighter, cleaner learning environment for students and staff. More importantly, this project brings real savings to our district. By transitioning to energy-efficient LED lighting, we will reduce electricity and maintenance costs by more than $18,000 annually — a long-term benefit that directly supports our mission of doing what’s best for kids while being fiscally responsible.
This is the final phase of our district-wide lighting upgrade, completing the transition of all interior and exterior lighting across our campus to LED. Families and visitors will notice the improved lighting in classrooms, hallways, and common areas at the elementary building in the coming months.
This project reflects our continued commitment to responsible stewardship of public resources and to providing safe, welcoming spaces where our students can grow, learn, and thrive.
Thank you for your continued support of James A. Garfield Schools — where brighter classrooms and smarter savings go hand in hand.
