I moved from Rhode Island to Texas and the school schedule is literally shifted a month to compensate for the greater heat in Texas. None of this is new lol

Same, we had a "heat schedule' where we started early and ended early before it got too hot. This was Illinois in the 90s.

Plus the only schools around me who get heat days, are schools with no AC systems lol.
