"Student safety is our number one priority, and the District is taking several measures to help maintain healthy and comfortable classroom conditions," said Philly schools COO Oz Hill.
"The District has invested $285.7 million to improve electrical and HVAC systems in 23 schools, with an emphasis on those serving elementary students. We have installed over 800 window air conditioning units and over 1,400 hydration stations to provide cool, filtered drinking water." Exposure to excessive heat, according to the district, can cause heat-related illnesses, such as dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.
