Closing schools during extrem hot weather.

A change in the law.
Any school that does not have air conditioning must send children home, or close when temp reaches extrem temperatures.
Any thing between 32C and 36C is going to affect our children's performance and health.
Have a change of uniform in extreme weather. Not just a " summer uniform"

Why is this important?

High temp causes children to become lethargic.
It also causes head aches, dizzesness, confusion, loss of appetite, a feeling of sickness, cramps, higher BP and pulse,
Heat exhaustion can lead to full blown heat stroke.
What is the point of making our children ill when they can't learn anything due to feeling so bad due to the heat.
We need to put our children's health first.
Our weather is changing due to climate change every year.
It's going from one extrem to another. From bitter cold to torrential rain. Now we are starting to get hit by the heat for weeks on end.
