Air conditioning
Air conditioning schools
High classroom temperatures are a major issue in the fall and spring. The Board
of Education has adopted policies which will increase the number of air
conditioned schools, as well as reduce the air temperatures in non air
conditioned schools. These policies include but are not limited to:
• Air conditioning all new buildings
• Install air conditioning during major remodeling projects
• Air condition computer labs and main office areas
• Schools that are not air conditioned have been fitted with mechanical systems
to help purge the building with cooler air during the evening hours
• Energy managers assist principals in monitoring and resolving overheating
issues
The Board is committed to air condition all school buildings as this becomes
financially feasible. In order to achieve this goal, the Board may consider
raising taxes.
