I would have put in school wide air-conditioning in our elementary school! It would have made goin back to school so much easier in august!
I would have to say with better ways to handle sex education like providing condoms to students. I remember how bad teen pregnancy was when I was in high school and delivery of pizza to school

I would have allowed us to wear shorts all the time. I grew up in Florida and they didn’t allow shorts (except for special days) until the year after I graduated! It was crazy! My cousins in West Virginia were wearing shorts and here I was in the hottest state wearing jeans and skirts, lol!
Free popcorn in all classes every day!

I would’ve rocked my high school with something to make the cafeteria more exciting. I always remember it being so boring and depressing with its all white cinder block walls and small windows.

I sure hope my HS has upgraded by now, but I would put a battery backup installed in the PA system. Freshman year there was a tornado warning (it did damage a block away, so it was a real threat), but the power was knocked out right before the warning. The secretaries went up and down the halls knocking on doors and calling out instructions. It also would be great to make the breezeway linking the whole school to the building with the basement NOT completely windows.

A paved student parking lot. When I was there, it was only dirt…..think how lovely the hallways were on days it rained.
I would have added longer lunch hour as my high scholl was in the bbonies at the time, and getting anywhere fun for lunch was a mission impossible.

I would have had open lunches. Salads and the hot lunches got a little old. 🙂
Sorry I misunderstood. I would have installed more computers. Computer time was short because we had to share.

I would’ve had an all school back-up generator for when the power went off (all the time) and so we could flush the toilets! 🙂 (I went to HS in Haiti …)
