2. After a recent early dismissal due to high temperatures, the School District of Philadelphia has updated its protocols for extreme heat for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year. According to the district, it will begin to monitor the temperature inside each school on days when outside temperatures are forecasted to reach 85 degrees or higher, or when a heat index of 90 or higher is projected for one or more days. If temperatures within the school buildings reach 90 degrees or higher, the district will determine whether to utilize virtual learning or take other protective measures for the day. (CBS Philly)
