Reply to comment by Bad_Mad_Man in My high school in Wilbraham, MA, got the 'Saturday Night Live' treatment due to lighting issue. The school has a server to control the lights with no manual override. The server got hacked and the school hasn't been able to turn off lights since 2021. Still not fixed. by The_Sloth_Racer

You would think but apparently that's too much thinking for school admin and no manual light switches. They tried to do everything to cut corners when building the school in 2012 and I guess figured teachers didn't need to be able to control their lights. They also cheaped out by not installing air conditioning in a 3-story high school that at one time had almost 4,000 students across grades 9-12, all with laptops. I have two friends that are teachers at this school and ever since the new school opened, it seems like it's just been one problem after another.
