Why this petition matters

Hi everyone!

As we all know, the summer season is starting up very soon, and the heat has already begun. For many of us, the issue of having no air conditioning in classrooms / throughout the school is terrible. Personally, I believe that not having air conditioning disrupts the learning process. With experience as a kid in school, I experience a lot of thoughts on this. I've seen many pictures of schools reaching 85+ degrees, plus now windows are closed due to threats of shootings. I think it’s ridiculous to leave kids sitting in these environments for up to 80 minutes at a time. I know that MANY schools do not have this in their budgets, but if we get enough signatures then maybe we could make a difference. After all what exactly do we pay school taxes for. They need to figure out a budget where air conditioning is fit in. I myself would be willing to donate or maybe do fundraisers in order to get some additional funding, as I am sure many other parents would if they are able.
