I teach 4th grade and my 36 students are dying in this 100' heat. Is that something that can be complained about under the Williams Act? We are told there is no money to fix the a/c for the 800+ kids in our school.

Williams Case Information and Forms
Explanation: Williams case legislation requires a school district to use its uniform complaint process to help identify and resolve any deficiencies related to instructional materials, teacher vacancy or missed assignment, and emergency or urgent facilities conditions that pose a threat to the health and safety of the pupils or staff.
California Education Code 35186 authorizes the filing of complaints concerning the following:
1. There should be sufficient textbooks and instructional materials. That means each pupil, including English learners, must have a textbook or instructional materials, or both, to use in the class and to take home to complete required homework assignments.
2. School facilities must be clean, safe and maintained in good repair.
3. A complaint form may be obtained at the school office, district office or downloaded from this page. You may also download a copy of the California Department of Education complaint form from the following website: http://www.cde.ca.gov/eo/ce/wc/index.asp.
