Dozens of school districts throughout the U.S. are closed due to extreme heat, placing parents in a continuous lurch.
A number of schools across the U.S. closed on Tuesday as the heat has not let up following the Labor Day weekend.
Several districts in Northeast Ohio, including the city of Parma, are closed on Tuesday. Parma City Superintendent Charles Smialek said the age of the school buildings played a factor in his decision to cancel school on what was supposed to be the first day of the school year. "We’ve been in the sick building era for over 40 years, and we've neglected our school building," he said in the NEA's newsletter."It’s just something we’ve tolerated, and I’m not sure why. We know that good ventilation and filtration are key to student health, student thinking, and student performance, and yet closing schools has become our new reality."
