"Hot Start: Minnesota Students Return to Sweltering Classrooms"

As many Minnesota school districts resume classes on Tuesday, some are facing the challenge of sweltering heat, with a significant percentage of schools lacking air conditioning. The St. Paul Public School District says 57 percent of their schools do not have air conditioning, while the Anoka-Hennepin School District plans to introduce cooler morning air into schools without air conditioning. Parents emphasize the importance of preparation and children learning how to keep cool, while students suggest wearing hats, drinking water, and avoiding dark clothing. Despite the heat, both St. Paul Public Schools and Minneapolis Public Schools have decided to remain open on Tuesday.
