Here the A/C seems to be limited. It also takes away from summer programs, camps, summer employment, etc. It would need to be in every school so - Krusty Apr 5, 07:15 2
- There's already school districts with a mix of the year round and regular schedules so it wouldn't have to a complete switch -- (edited) - JD Apr 5, 07:36
- They air condition any rooms with computers but otherwise it's just open windows to deal with the heat. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 5, 07:18
We should do what the teachers say, but we will end up doing what the Karens say -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 07:12
That’s something you need to announce at least a year out for parents to not make plans. - spamlet Apr 5, 07:12 4
- Plans? -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 07:28 1
  - Summer vacation plans. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:32

- yup to this and to con carne above -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:12
air what? -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:09 7
- What are your summers like? -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:13 5
  - NYC subtract 5 deg C. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:19
  - we'll have 2 months or so in the 30's+, super humid where we are as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:14 3
    - So, kinda like the American heartland but a bit cooler. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:15 2
      - right, but no AC in schools cause no need. June can get unbearable; now the newer schools might have heat pumps but don't know -- nm* - Beaker Apr 5, 07:16 1
        
        None that I'm aware of. My school is two years old and it's plain old ducted heating. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:17
- Yeah, I know. It's a big "if." -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:10
