Bus Without AC Sparks Parent Outcry | Jackson News

A Jackson Public Schools bus for Walton Elementary has been running without air conditioning since the school year began, forcing kids to endure sweltering heat with barely cracked windows. One parent, Nesha Johnson, with five children on the route, has been demanding answers for a week after her kids returned home drenched in sweat — one nearly passed out. The district finally re-routed the bus, assigning a working AC-equipped vehicle while repairs are made, but Ms. Johnson isn’t satisfied — she’s calling for a full fleet inspection to ensure every student’s safety. This case underscores how basic infrastructure like functioning air conditioning shouldn’t be a luxury, but a necessity — and sometimes, it takes a parent’s relentless advocacy to make it happen.
