I taught in classrooms with no AC for 35 years, and I promise you, learning was definitely not at its peak when the temps hit 90 and up.
No kid should have early school dismissal b/c of heat. Schools should be equipped w/ air-conditioners for kids to have a better learning environment! My bill, HR 922, would use the tax code to allow school bldgs to qualify for a tax credit that would help fix our infrastructure.

I hope your bill gets support! I’m not sure what it will take for people to come together and solve this riddle. Climate change is forcing our hand!

I went to grade school in the 80s. I dont remember ever getting out of school for heat. Why are kids getting out today? New buildings hotter? Oh wait, they are still the same old buildings.

Agree. My daughter has asthma, her class AC was out,not the 1st at school. Walking home she was red, struggling, & nearly hit the pavement. I'm taking a fan in, b/c an AC unit won't be allowed-they've been "fixing" the air since May & so much all summer.

I’ve been trying to get someone, anyone from
@PHLschools to respond to my inquiries about the conditions of my son’s school for the same reason and no one has responded. No action at all.

Too many
@PPSnews schools are not equipped with air conditioning. It impacts learning, behavior, and absenteeism. Thank you@repdwightevans for your leadership! - 1 more reply
