One Area School Making Plans For Extreme Heat

August 22, 2023 Steve Schwaller

(Lake Park)– One area school is already making plans to deal with the extreme heat. The first two days of school at Harris-Lake Park this Thursday and Friday, August 24th and 25th, will see early dismissals. Superintendent Gary Richardson says it’s due to a lack of air conditioning in most of the classrooms at the elementary building…

“The rooms inside that aren’t air conditioned at the elementary are already into the mid 80’s, so. We can get them cooled down in the morning but it doesn’t look like there’s much sense to go all day.”

As a result, Richardson says the middle school/high school will be dismissing both days at 12 Noon with the elementary letting out at 12:10 pm.
