Why this petition matters

Started by James Black

  Outdated  Ontario  and other Provinces Schools  are  forcing  children  to  be  in  classrooms  in  unhealthy  classroom  temperature  as  high  as  30  degrees.  School  Boards  must  provide  air  conditioning  in  these  schools  or  allow  parents  to  fix  the  problems by providing air conditioners.

Professional Organizations have made the problem very clear but we as good citizens have to do more to make the classrooms safe.

 

"Many elementary school classrooms in Ontario are not air conditioned. This means that high humidity and temperature levels can interfere with working, learning, and health. Staff and students with pre-existing health conditions such as asthma and heart problems are more vulnerable to symptoms of heat stress. "
