Thermostat Freedom In Our School

Something I love about the school I teach at is how I have control over the control unit in our classroom.

I assume a lot of educators who labor at other schools and their number one complaint is about the control unit settings! Their rooms are either too sizzling or too cold, then most schools don’t allow their educator’s to control the temperature of their classrooms for efficiency and consistency reasons, from what I’ve heard from some of the older educators, our school wasn’t regularly care about this.

The principal used to control the heat and air settings for the entire building; One year though, the educators fought for their right to have control over the temperature settings in their room. If they were going to spend all afternoon teaching in one room, they wanted the right to set the control unit however they pleased. The principal agreed, however there were a few limitations. Teachers were granted access to their control unit, however they could only set the temperature between 65 degrees and 75 degrees. This would keep things running efficiently. The clear lock boxes were also required to remain locked at all times in order to prevent students from altering the control unit, but each educator was given a key to the control unit lock box and they were responsible for it. If a educator couldn’t follow these instruction, then the key would be taken from them and the principal would set it himself. I’m so thankful those educators fought for our control unit freedom today. I like to labor in a room that’s not too sizzling or too cold.
