A recent NBC News report brought attention to problems with the lighting in a Massachusetts High School. Since 2021, more than 7,000 lights have been on non-stop following a software failure within the lighting control system at Minnechaug Regional High School.
The high school’s troubles even made their way into a humorous “Weekend Update” segment on Saturday Night Live. But, school administrators in Wilbraham, Massachusetts are finding it hard to laugh about wasted energy and higher operating costs over the past 17 months.
