They need light during the day.
The moral is: when you install a super hi-tech fancy electronic system, always have the most basic analog fail-safe/backup. In this case, a simple "on-off" switch. Problem alleviated.
Man... I don't envy the custodial/maintenance/IT Staff at this school one bit.
I love that the Superintendent's surname is Provost
Nominative determinism strikes again!
