Let's begin with the definition of "median" from Webster's Dictionary "being in the middle."
And then word from students at Springbrook High School that they are in the second day of no air conditioning due to a broken HVAC system.
What's new this year is that MCPS has installed indoor air monitors in EVERY SINGLE CLASSROOM in the entire school system. Parents and guardians can now monitor the indoor air quality of their child's school in real time.
However, MCPS administrators only want parents to have limited information about the indoor air of schools. Therefore, MCPS is only making the median indoor air temperature of the entire building public.
So for each MCPS school building, even though every single room has an indoor air monitor, MCPS only releases one number for the entire building. The number released is the median temperature number for the entire school building.
Today, we know that as of 10:20 AM the median temperature of Springbrook High School is 83 degrees. That's the median temperature. How hot are half of the classrooms in that building right now?
