Proposed state standards to protect indoor workers from extreme heat would extend to schools. The rules come as climate change is bringing more frequent and intense heat waves, causing schools nationwide to cancel instruction.
Given school budgets, if they wanna go any lower they’ll need to subside it better. Although most of the schools where I am already maintain a good temp.
There’s so many scenarios a rule like this would cover, too. In some places, and with some crumbling AC units, it’d probably cost a fortune to even reach 80. I know a relative up in Fresno who pays over 1k in electricity some months (although, no sympathy buying an overly large home in a place like that, something like 3k sqft takes a lot of air!).
