In Long Beach alone, nearly all buildings in 13 public schools lack air conditioning, affecting about 14,000 students, highlighting the dire state of school facilities.
Research indicates that between 15% to 20% of California's public schools entirely lack functioning air conditioning systems, with many more needing significant repairs.
Fresno's school district has faced an overwhelming 5,000 requests for air conditioning repairs in just the past year, underscoring the urgent maintenance backlog.
The impact of inadequate temperature control is considerable, with educators noting that extreme heat hampers learning, emphasizing the need for urgent infrastructure investment.
