The main barriers with school districts are financial restrictions. The district has a limited capital budget to function every fiscal year. It is usually impossible to roll out a large capital project without requesting for every possible aid that is available, which could be a long-winded process. Johnson Control's ability to take that burden off the districts shoulder and offer them financing options is a viable solution to the school board. The financing cost is a limited dollar amount that they can allocate into their fiscal year budget. Most of the time the savings achieved usually pays for the cost.
