The small air conditioners you can get to stick in your window are 120V. These will only effectively cool a small room. Larger commercial air conditioners, the size needed to cool a large class room are 220V. Since it never occurred to the Hawaii school system to have air conditioning until now, the school classrooms are probably not wired at all for 220V. Rewiring is massively expensive.
