Lexington Independent School District No. 57
Upgrades Lighting to LED
Lexington, Oklahoma (January 23, 2017) – Lexington Independent School District No. 57 announced that LED lighting upgrades are currently being installed throughout its district facilities. Other school districts who have utilized the lighting for an extended period of time report that switching to LED lighting creates a positive effect on student behavior and reduces tension headaches of staff.
Lexington ISD chose the tax-exempt lease purchase offering by Government Capital Corporation (GCC) as the most cost-effective way to finance the project. This financing mechanism covered equipment, installation and ancillary costs associated with the upgrade. The energy savings from the new LED lighting will provide funds for the lease payments over the life of the contract.
Ronda Bass, Superintendent of Lexington Public Schools said, “It is great to take advantage of the savings that will be passed on to the students and tax payers by the new and improved lighting. Our financing partner, Government Capital Corporation, provided excellent service. Their customer care is excellent and they follow up regularly. I would recommend the solution provided by GCC to any district with financing needs.”
“This is a wonderful example of school administrators and school board members putting students first while being responsible with their resources. Not only will the district receive savings with the new LED lighting, but they are also providing their students & staff with the very latest in lighting technology,” stated Michelle Sanders, Government Capital Corporation Client Services Manager.
