How expensive would it be to put space heaters in every classroom? Even window heaters are only $500. Surely a school district that spends $17m a year on maintenance can come up with that. My guess is bureaucracy/mismanagement is the real problem. The larger a school district is, the more bureaucracy.

Ever plug in 20 space heaters at once in a building whose electrical systems are over 50 years old?
They certainly have a problem with mismanagement, but having to use space heaters to warm a classroom means things are going seriously wrong.
