Parents, like Jamillah Hawkins, said they are frustrated the district has not already taken steps to ensure each school in the city has air conditioning.
officials said the district has invested more than $285 million to improve electrical and HVAC systems in city schools. They said the goal is to eventually equip every school with air conditioning.
"Y'all knew all summer y'all didn't have air conditioners in the building. You know every September it gets hot. Why not take care of it before it happens?" said Hawkins. "Heat makes people tired. It also makes them very uncomfortable to be in the classrooms, sweating and stuff like that," Carmody said. "They can't really focus on their work."The Upper Darby School District superintendent said they dismissed students early on Tuesday, and will again on Wednesday and Thursday, because of the heat.
