Extreme Heat Protocol 2022-23

This summer, Philadelphia has experienced record-breaking temperatures. If extreme heat occurs after school starts, we want you to know what to expect as we work to protect the health and well-being of everyone in our school buildings.

Our building engineers actively monitor the temperature inside each school building whenever outside temperatures are forecasted to reach 85℉ or more, or when a heat index of 90℉ or higher is projected.

We are extra vigilant in school buildings that currently have window-based air conditioning units instead of central air conditioning systems that can consistently regulate temperatures in instructional spaces.

If we expect temperatures inside the school building to reach 90℉ or higher, we then work with the school leader to determine whether a temporary shift to virtual learning is necessary for everyone’s safety. Our goal is to make that decision as early as possible, preferably the day before, to minimize last-minute disruption for our students, families, and staff.
