THEODORE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Theodore High School was without air conditioning on Tuesday morning when students arrived.
Theodore High School is the third school within Mobile County Public Schools to experience an air conditioning failure in under two weeks since school started.

LeFlore High School and Hankins Middle School reported A/C failures on Monday. LeFlore students were sent home at 10 a.m. for the remainder of the day. MCPSS spokesperson Rena Philips said only one hallway at Hankins was left with no A/C, and the issue was fixed around 9:30 a.m.
“With the heat, we do experience issues with air conditioning,” Philips said in a statement. “We work to make repairs quickly.”
The A/C in all three schools, according to Philips, has been restored.
In the case of Theodore High School, this is just another chapter to an ongoing saga of A/C problems. Nearly a year ago, the two cooling towers at the school malfunctioned, which sources said left those in the school without A/C for about a week.
