In January they had to close schools, during a harsh cold spell, due to heating problems related to outdated heating systems. They've been neglected for years and according Baltimore Teachers Union President Marietta English the district shouldn't expect teachers to work in buildings with “bursting boilers, drafty windows, frigid temperatures in classrooms.”
The school system’s CEO, Sonja Santelises added “too many of our buildings have outdated heating systems, poor insulation, and aging pipes as a result of years of inadequate funding for maintenance and facilities improvements.”

But that's not the entire story. So now the new mayor (yes, a democrat) has promised free buses, t-shirts and lunch for any student that wants to go to the anti-gun rally. The cost estimate of this is about $100,000.

They can't fix the heat in schools, but they can take the students to a DNC protest. No wonder democratic cities are in ruin.
