It's still very expensive to cool down schools in the summer. A lot of schools don't even have air conditioning, and they don't have the budget to pay teachers for two more months, much less install AC everywhere.

Don't get me wrong, I'll happily pay my school taxes to get a better educational system, but not everyone sees it that way. You'd need to raise taxes, and people are selfish.

You need to raise taxes on the people that can afford it.

Agreed. Sadly, those people have legalized bribery, and it's cheaper to buy politicians.
