When you walk into a room, one of the first things you notice is the temperature. People around Liberty have been saying it’s freezing and they’re wearing hoodies despite the warm summer like weather.

“It’s coldest in science rooms,” sophomore Megan Mcvey stated.

Why is it so cold? It is hard to keep the whole building at a temperature that everyone is comfortable in.

“The school is not purposely cold,” assistant principal Mr. Kiesel said.

The school’s temperature is managed by the district’s central office, but there are four or five more units in the school to help regulate it. Each room is set to 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Controlling the rooms can be tricky especially since the thermostats only can make about 5 degrees Fahrenheit difference. Along with thermostats that teachers may not understand, the rooms with exterior walls get a lot more change in temperature.

Mrs. Strathman understands that it is hard to maintain the whole school’s temperature and said “I wish it was more consistent.” She also said her room gets really cold and wishes that it could be warmer.

On the other hand, some students prefer the cold.

“I like it being cold. It will help keep us up in class,” said freshman Zoey Guenzler.  

Some rooms instead of being cold are really hot and Guenzler wished that it was colder in those hot rooms and parts of the building.

Despite the different opinions with the temperature, students should have clothes for whatever the school has brought for the day. Having it being chilly in the morning and hot in the afternoon maybe just dress for summer and bring a hoodie in case.
