California schools unprepared as heat waves intensify
Original: Punishing heat waves are becoming more common in California. Most schools aren’t prepared
EdSource reports that punishing heat waves are becoming increasingly common across California, yet most schools lack the infrastructure and plans to keep students safe. Many classrooms lack air conditioning, and districts have few protocols for extreme heat days. Educators and health experts warn that without investment in cooling systems and updated policies, students face growing health and learning risks as climate change drives more frequent and severe heat events.
Why now: Recurrent extreme heat events in California have renewed attention on whether school facilities can protect students.
