By Jacqueline De La Barrera Mayor Rahm Emanuel has revealed that within the next five years, he plans to install air conditioners in every classroom at CPS schools. Starting this summer, the project will begin in 206 schools. A CPS spokesmen, Joel Hood, announced that the estimated cost for this project would be $20 million dollars per year, adding up to $100 million dollars. Hubbard students agree that no air conditioning has definitely affected their ability to learn. “The heat we endure during the day is unbearable,” says Sylvia Bernal, Div.406. “My two classes with air conditioning have become my favorites!” The heat really does affect the learning environment. Students fall asleep in the classroom, and many get bloody noses due to the extreme heat. With 30 bodies in a classroom and the temperature going up, it’s nearly impossible to focus on the lectures. The air conditioning will also benefit the teachers: they will find it easier to teach, and their students will be more alert and focused on the class. This plan to install air conditioning at CPS classrooms really is a “cool” one, which will benefit not only the students and their studies, but the teachers as well. It may take some time for all of the CPS schools to be completely air conditioned: five years to be exact. Thankfully, Hubbard is scheduled to be one of the first schools to receive a/c this summer!
