Many have said the existing high schools are fine (fix a few windows and some other small fixy things and call it a day). Some have said A/C wasn't even necessary (some on this board have said as much). And then I read this from the recent school board meeting:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The school system is on a heat schedule until the end of August due to the high temperatures in the high school classrooms. Under the heat schedule, school begins at 8 a.m. and dismisses at 1:30 p.m.
In a related matter, the School Board, after a lengthy discussion, voted to cancel school on Thursday since weather forecasts predict scorching temperatures. It is also possible school will be cancelled Friday if the heat continues.
The decision to close school Thursday came after several steamed parents and residents told the board that the heat is unbearable for high school students who sit in rooms where temperatures reach well into the 90s for hours.
"Would you keep your pets indoors in conditions like that?"? parent Billie Brown asked. "If you did, you'd probably be arrested."?</div></div>
