We accomplished nothing because they kids were way too hot… as were the teachers. State testing is around the corner and students cannot function in that kind of heat. 28 students packed into a room that is 86 degrees…. We have a 3 billion dollar budget. Absolutely ridiculous.

OP didn’t read their MCEA contract. It clearly states that teachers can request an alternative teaching space if their classroom is 80 degrees or warmer.

And if the entire school is over 80 degrees, what then? They are just going to cancel school, but nice try.

If they cancel they extend the year.

No they won’t. We have permission to do up to something like 6 virtual days for weather and not add on to the school year.

No virtual. Parents had a fit when MCPS went virtual. Suck it up.

Bring in a fan like in the old days. They need to toughen up these kids anyways.

You sound stuck in Boomer mentality. So sad. Kids deserve better learning conditions. making kids suffer in 87 degree classrooms (with 20 plus other kids) while being expected to learn ain’t it, but I guess you’d need to move past your 1955 mentality to understand that. Have fun living in the past.

It was still miserable and not all classrooms had windows. It happens every year.

Going to be pushing 90 later this week so if there are still buildings that haven't turned on the AC yet, start pushing again. It's going to be a hot spring and summer this year.

I feel for both teachers and students and the facilities folks. The schools with the old central heating systems are a pain...once facilities switch over to a/c it stays on until fall so they try to guess the best time to switch and they often times get it wrong . Just try to hydrate and see if they provide fans (ha) in the interim.

You’re seriously a pathetic troll. Go get a life. You’re just wrong but you’re trying to base everyone’s experiences off your own singular experience. Just feel sorry for you.

Wrong. MCPS released their plan for virtual snow days without any parent complaints

Not just old buildings. I’m in a school that’s less than 10 years old that is celebrated for being energy saving yet for most of the winter the heat didn’t work and now the AC doesn’t work.

Spring weather + MCPS = dress in layers- every day- don’t go only by outdoor temperature.

A classroom can be hot one day/freezing the next, and different rooms are different temperatures. Don’t make assumptions and be prepared.
