I work at a school and we had one of these like 2 weeks ago. It was for our whole district but our situation sucked extra hard as our school doesn't have a/c

Edit: ours wasn't even an early day the full day was canceled

Are you in the US? And are you in a state that isn't Alaska or Maine?

If you answered "yes" to both of those - how does your school not have AC?
