With just a few days before classes begin, problems with heating and cooling in Ohio’s largest school system caused teachers across the state to continue their strike. The union says that poor conditioning is a contributing factor to the miserable classroom environment, because if the classrooms are overheated and humid, then pretty much everyone in them is miserable. As the Columbus Education Association and the Columbus City Schools Board of Education continued their standoff, union members hit the picket line for a second day.
