Gaston County provide Air Conditioners in High School gyms

The Issue

We kindly ask you to SIGN this petition.  Ashbrook, Hunter Huss, and Bessemer City urgently require air conditioning in their gyms, just like the other schools in the county. The gym(s) became excessively hot and humid, leading to uncomfortable conditions, and several individuals experienced heat exhaustion, forcing a temporary pause in the game. The match should have been halted entirely due to the extreme temperatures. Despite having several fans, the heat was unbearable. Three Gaston County High Schools are in dire need of an air conditioning system. Please take action to prevent any future incidents that could be severe. Your signature can make a difference in ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for students, athletes, and spectators alike. By supporting this cause, you are advocating for the health and well-being of our community. Let's come together to push for the necessary changes that will provide relief during athletic events and other gatherings in these schools' gyms. Thank you for standing with us in this important initiative. Your voice matters, and with your help, we can create a positive impact. PLEASE HELP US GET AIR CONDITIONING IN THE SCHOOL GYMS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BY SIGNING THIS PETITION.
