This is my question too. Weren't there funds allocated to schools for this? I could be wrong.

Regardless, it is ridiculous for this issue to go on into Day 2 and possibly Day 3. What major malfunction happened?

There was a vocal group of parents in the APE group who advocated against HVAC improvements. [/quote]

You think parents in APE advocated to redirect Covid recovery funds from HVAC to the VLP? Umm, that seems unlikely. [/quote]

Not exactly, this was long before the VLP began. Back in height of the pandemic when APS was considering HVAC improvements, APE told APS they were not needed. APE was in a huge hurry to open schools and they apparently worried that any type of improvements might hold that up. Their position was schools were fine as is. [/quote]

I think APS would strongly dispute that. They did do the HVAC improvements.  They had consultants review every school and spent quite a bit of money getting up to the ASHRAE standards. They just weren't good enough for Smart Restart.[/quote]

I don't know about Smart Restart, but if APS really did all of the needed HVAC improvements and all is just fine and dandy now, then why is Taylor closed?

Rhetorical question because I know they didn't do all the needed improvements. My kid is in a school that's sorely in need of a new system. [/quote]
