WTF? CO detectors are cheap when compared with the death of a child (or a lawsuit). Oh noes, they'll have to spend $100 per school to buy a few CO detectors. I'm sure that will break the bank. Not. And you don't need hardwired expensive ones - there are battery ones and plug in ones - buy a few of both. I seriously can't believe they are debating this. I know people who have died from CO poisoning, and a co-worker narrowly survived it, but had long lasting effects. If I was a parent at these schools, I'd be going out and buying a few myself.
