My mom who is a teacher in Coeburn has just told me that they are not going to be on heat Sched. Thursday and Friday. Does anybody think that this is the dumbest idea on earth because the heat indexes are forecasted to be in the 100-105 range?

We didn't have a heat schedule when I went to school. As a matter of fact, we didn't have "snow" schedules until like 1970.
yeah but that was in the 1930's and you walked uphill both ways to school hahaha.....Quote:

Quick question, is Wise Co. the only place in the area that needs a heat schedule? I don't know about ****enson Co., but I'm pretty sure Russell doesn't have one and I know for sure Norton doesn't.
Lee County doesn't. Lee High has central air and all of the other schools have an air conditioner in each classroom. I just can't see how they expect a kid to learn anything by sitting in a 90-100 degree classroom, not to mention the health risks for them.
There's a 40% chance (as of now acc. to the NWS) of rain/storms Thursday and Friday, with that and cloud clover most places probably won't get very high. Still haven't reached heat advisory criteria yet either. Those heat index values of 100-105 are also just for the southern and central portions of TN.

More reason to consolidate and build new schools. If I were a betting man I would imagine the Superintendent is not going to put the schools on a heat schedule to prove some type of point to everyone that new schools need to be built. JMO
You'd think some of the anti-consolidation folks would see that but no.Quote:

Yep, it sure did. I remember it well, and the drivers knew how to drive in the snow, not like some of the drivers now. For the most, today's bus drivers drive entirely too fast and don't pay nearly as much attention to driving conditions as they used to.Quote:

And they could have them installed after all of this time? I don't get how this has been a problem, that does effect the kids big time and nothing has really been done about it. Puzzles me.Quote:

It is that crap that makes me want to slap the anti-consoladation people who keep saying the schools are just fine and they don't make that quality any more......your **** right any new school buildings would have a desent heating and cooling system
