The lights have been on at a Massachusetts school for over a year because no one can turn them off
The lighting system was installed at Minnechaug Regional High School when it was built over a decade ago and was intended to save money and energy. But ever since the software that runs it failed on Aug. 24, 2021, the lights in the Springfield suburbs school have been on continuously, costing taxpayers a small fortune.Fortunately, according to Assistant Superintendent of Finance Aaron Osborne, that small fortune is only thousands of dollars per month, not tens of thousands.
And maybe it's all China's fault. Or the pandemic's. Or both.
