Netizens left a message on the People's Daily on September 25 to the secretary of the Chancheng District Party Committee in Foshan, complaining about Fenjiang Middle School, saying that the school's air-conditioning company charged arbitrarily. The netizen said that on June 20, 2020, each person paid 250 yuan and a class was more than 10,000 yuan, and now each student is allowed to pay 200 yuan, is the electricity bill so expensive? Now I didn't pay the fee, and I actually stopped the student's air conditioner, hoping to manage this matter.

Foshan Chancheng District Education Bureau replied on October 25 that the fenjiang middle school classroom sharing air conditioning service work was introduced in September 2019 by the then first party committee, classroom air conditioning service before the introduction of the research 100% of the school parents agreed, under the leadership of the class parent committee, the whole school parents voluntarily participated, cautiously introduced a third-party institution (Guangzhou Guangqinglong Information Technology Co., Ltd.) to carry out services, all equipment facilities and operations provided by third-party institutions, The basic air conditioning service fee is borne voluntarily by the parents and paid directly to the operating company.

At that time, each parent paid 250 yuan in June 2020, and when the parent purchased the service, the third-party operating company had specified to the parents that the service period was one academic year, that is, July 2021. The classroom air conditioning service purchased by parents in the early stage has expired, and the current new school year needs to pay a new service fee if they need to continue to purchase third-party classroom air conditioning services. In the new school year of September 2021, the third-party service company launched a preferential scheme for the new school year of classroom air conditioning services, the original charging standard was 250 yuan per student / academic year, and now the third year of the new school year students enjoy a 20% discount, that is, each student pays a service fee of 200 yuan to the third-party service company, and can use the classroom air conditioning service until the graduation of the third year of junior high school. Because the classroom shared air conditioning is purchased voluntarily by the parents of the students, September 1 to September 22 is the free use period during the payment period, and the class that has not purchased the classroom air conditioning service from September 23, the service company has begun to suspend the classroom air conditioning service, and before the suspension of the classroom air conditioning service, the service company has issued a notice to the representatives of the class parent committee that the service has not purchased the service and suspended the service.

Classroom shared air conditioning service is a system service project, and the service fee is not only the electricity cost incurred in the operation process, but also includes the depreciation of equipment and facilities. The service life of air conditioners is about 5 to 8 years, but the service life of air conditioners in public places will be shortened relative to household air conditioners. When air conditioning equipment is used for 6 years, the annual power consumption will be more expensive than air conditioning. The school actively coordinates with the air-conditioning company to promote the company to obtain a clear answer as soon as possible according to the parents' demands. On September 27, the family committee and the company leaders held a coordination meeting to discuss the solution. If the air conditioning company and all parents of the class do not reach an agreement, the company will suspend the provision of shared air conditioning services, and the school will wait for the superior department to install air conditioning for the class.

After preliminary consultation between the Parents Committee and the sharing company, and the coordination between the school, the sharing company once again launched a preferential plan. Now the sharing company calls the family committee of the third grade of the junior high school on October 7, collects 200 yuan / student for one academic year, and then returns 34 yuan / person to the parent committee, that is, 166 yuan. If each class can reach the consensus of the whole class before October 10, 100% of the parents agree, and the fee will be remitted to the company's designated account, and the sharing company will continue to provide services for the next year. If the class fails to reach the consensus of the whole class and does not reach 100% of the parents to agree to open the shared air conditioning service, the shared air conditioning service will no longer be provided for the class.

A preliminary agreement has been reached on fees and methods of collection, and the use of air conditioning in individual classes has returned to normal. As of 17:30 p.m. on October 11, of the 8 classes of the junior high school, 1-6 classes have reached a consensus among the parents of the whole class, 100% of the parents agree, and the fee is remitted to the company's designated account, the company has immediately returned 34 yuan / person to the parent committee, the company continues to provide shared air conditioning services. Classes 7 and 8 failed to reach 100% of the parents' consensus payment, and the company suspended the provision of shared air conditioning services.
