How bad is the heat?
As we face yet another 90 degree day today, schools across the area are dismissing students early to escape the heat in the classrooms.
As more schools bring air conditioning into their classrooms - Franklin recently installed window units in their classrooms and Middletown has new buildings equipped with central air condition - sweaty conditions are becoming less common in our schools.
And even in Carlisle classrooms that aren’t artificially cooled, heat hasn’t been too much of an issue, according to Superintendent Mike Griffith.
Griffith said this year teachers in the second story classrooms of the middle school, which get especially steamy in the summer, were allowed to install window units.
The second floor of the building was “unbearable” before the units were added, he said, but everywhere else “it’s not been too bad.”
“I’ve not heard too much complaining from anybody,” Griffith said.
So how hot does it get in classrooms and does heat hurt learning?
