My son plays football for one of the teams in Phoenix.
The high school football team needs updated AC system components in the locker room.
My son has been cleaning about the lack of air conditioning in the locker rooms for a couple of weeks. It’s 100° outside and the kids are practicing for sports and there is no break from the outdoor temperatures. My son told me that there was an air conditioner repair company from Phoenix in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago, but they were not working on the problem in the locker room. As one of the booster club parents, I decided to contact the superintendent to discuss the problems with the air conditioning system in the locker room. The football team here in Phoenix has a lot of contributors and the team regularly makes the state playoffs every year. I thought it was important that the football team get an updated commercial AC unit in the locker room. When I made an appointment to speak with the superintendent, he canceled an hour before we were supposed to meet. The next day I tried to make another appointment and the receptionist told me that that guy was not going to be available for the next week. I called the office every day for the next week until the school committee finally agreed to make the changes. The kids were drinking barely enough water and working for two hours every day in the heat. It was necessary for them to be cool and comfortable when practice was over.
