Should Joe Walker Elementary get air conditioning?

It's an issue that came up at McGuffey's recent school board meeting. Some parents say it's not fair that the elementary school is the only school in the district without air conditioning. They suggest it impacts the learning environment. Others say that in this tough economic time, McGuffey can't afford to spend at least $500,000 to air condition the school. And, they say, if the district is going to spend the money, it should be on something that benefits all students.
