Hot Schools Shut Down Early

Two Montgomery County high schools, Wootton and Bethesda Chevy Chase, shut down early yesterday due to catastrophic HVAC failures amid 90-degree heat — Wootton hit by a busted pipe on Wootton Parkway, the other by unknown AC malfunctions. Students and staff were sent home around noon, turning classrooms into sweatboxes and stressing teachers. Wootton’s back in session today, but Bethesda Chevy Chase still faces early dismissal at noon. Add to the chaos: a water main break on Wootton Parkway caused traffic snarls. A hot mess, but at least one school is cooling off. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
