Aside from telling them to suck it up, check with your schools custodial staff for any blowers/cooling units that may be turned off. A lot of school districts try to save money by shutting off parts of the buildings heating/cooling units outside normal operating hours, or for parts of the...

Thanks everyone for your help, I have an updated list into the engineers. Hopefully I can get a hold of any decisions and changes they may make before it goes public! I'll post an updated list at some point. Goooo rush jobs!
