Taft ISD Administration and staff has been aware of the issues with the AC units in the HS gym since last week; however, this issue has been ongoing with several repairs being attempted by district staff and HVAC repair companies. When the unit could not be serviced last week, the game was moved to the JH gym for player safety as well as the fans’ comfort.
A repair was made to the unit on Tuesday to prevent the condensation from falling onto the gym floor, but it could not be tested effectively prior to the game. Athletics and maintenance staff discussed the issue and decided to leave the unit off until it could be tested for effectiveness on Wednesday.
