[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 457610, member: 1233"] in my opinion they are courting a MAJOR class action lawsuit at least and possibly a wrongful death/neglect suit if a child dies from the heat. It happens and there is no way that kids should be in a school that hot. Are they at least providing water and ice to the kids? No way the school water fountains are enough to keep the kids hydrated. I do understand what they said about closing being hard on parents. Not every parent can get out early to go get a child. It is one thing to know ahead of time and another to have very short notice. But they still need to close the school for the safety of the children. I hope that they are very aware that if a child is on medication it can greatly increase their sensitivity to heat. And once you have heat exhaustion or a heat stroke it can take YEARS for your body to be able to handle heat well. Kids with asthma, many psychiatric medications, etc... are all super sensitive to heat. Can parents choose to keep their kids home with-o being penalized? Here if you live outside the city limits and the weather is bad you don't have to send your child and it is excused. Largely because we get so few really cold days that many people don't have the gear to wear in the cold, and also because the mud can get so bad. [/QUOTE]
