My kid started back Aug. 8 and has 2 classes in portables with NO air conditioning. Pity the poor teachers for their sweat equity and -- not only are they soliciting $$ from parents for books/supplies, they're asking for contributions for FANS!!
Florida -- gotta love it -- ever dependent on the tourist dollar and no funds for teachers or the schools.
