Topic: HVAC issues: The HVAC in half of the building has been broken since May. Some days, the temperatures in classes can be in the 80's. This is troubling because students are trying to learn, but the oppressive heat hurts everyone involved. We have had teachers take sick days because of the heat. One teacher confided in me that it is affecting their mental health, since they are so wiped out after school, they can't do their hobbies. Students have gone home early ill as well. I myself have taken my classes in the afternoon to Pel court to escape the heat. The problem with that is that students obviously work better in a classroom. So it's a catch 22, either not pay attention because of the heat or move to a non-classroom setting. I am requesting the district fix this issue. Getting the run around has been extremely frustrating, and student learning is suffering. The departments affected are the entire Math department, half of the science department, the whole social studies department and CTE. Students need to be able to focus to pass core classes. Please do not wait because "the weather will be getting cooler."

Board Chair please read Sam's comment as he is unable to attend.

Topic: Vape Detectors
Comment: The District has vape detectors, but they're just sitting in boxes unused and uninstalled. Why? Why haven't these been installed on campus? Students are using at school when they should be in class, and it can be completely avoided by the use of these detectors. It's a waste of tax dollars and a disservice to the students and staff by not protecting them from the harmful effects of vaping.
