Colorado Schools Hit by Heat | Denver News

Schools in Poudre District hit the brakes on the first week of school—sending kids home two hours early again due to scorching heat. With most buildings lacking air conditioning or only having it in select rooms, staff and students are struggling under the sweltering conditions. Teachers report kids distracted and uncomfortable, while parents scramble to pick up kids surprised by fall’s sudden furnace. The district’s new heat protocol now includes early dismissals—or even closures—if temps hit 95°F or linger above 90°F for three days. While some schools are upgrading with AC, permanent fixes are years away, making early releases the go-to safety move as Colorado’s heat waves keep rolling in.
