MARSTONS MILLS – Barnstable Public Schools has received a grant through the state’s Green School Works Program to install heat pumps at Barnstable United Elementary School.

The grant total is over $2.7 million.

The program aims to help Massachusetts schools implement clean energy upgrades for both climate and health.

A special school committee meeting was held last October where concerns were expressed about Barnstable United students and staff getting sick from mold in the building.
