Schools across various U.S. regions are grappling with significant air conditioning issues, exacerbated by rising temperatures and inadequate HVAC systems. In Louisiana, schools like Ponchatoula High and McDonogh 35 have faced delays and cancellations due to cooling problems amidst increasing cooling degree days. Similarly, Fairplay Middle School in Douglas County, GA, and Yates Elementary in Brandon, FL, have reported air conditioning failures, with parents expressing concerns over student safety and health. In Western Massachusetts, mold issues linked to high humidity and poor HVAC systems have disrupted classes, notably at Wolf Swamp Road School. Meanwhile, Beaufort County, SC, schools are enduring sweltering conditions as HVAC repairs are delayed, with some fixes potentially taking up to a year. These widespread issues highlight the urgent need for improved maintenance and infrastructure investment in school facilities to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment.
