At the January 13, 2025 Board of Selectmen meeting the board split over whether the town should involve itself in the elementary school's solar project. Selectman Anne Cremé argued it was not the town's business: "the solar is the school and the school is the one who's going to be working on that... it's simply the school's Authority," and "the Board of Education has control of the school building and we should not be usurping what the Board of Education should be working on" (~57:09-59:02). First Selectman Jeff Maguire, presiding, rejected that, challenged her for having voted against the solar referral at planning and zoning, and asked "who do you work for -- you work for the town of Andover or... the faction on the board of education that does not want to work with us" (~59:02). Selectman Jeff Murray then intervened, saying he supported the solar project but was concerned that solar companies overstate the savings they promise.
