Dear X,
I am a parent of INSERT CHILD’S NAME who is in the INSERT GRADE grade at KIPP Baltimore. I am writing because our air conditioning has not worked for over 7 school days and may not be repaired for months. My child is currently trying to learn in classrooms that are just too hot. This is not acceptable.
The District owns this building and I am told that the system needs complete replacement and is beyond life expectancy. As a public charter, KIPP has raised private funds to make over $6 million in improvements to our school building, but without separate facilities funding cannot make the necessary replacements. We are a public school in a public school building and we should receive the public dollars necessary to provide a healthy learning space for our students.
