Boston Public Schools classrooms have been reaching about 100 degrees in recent days, prompting teachers in non-air-conditioned buildings to turn off lights and spritz students with water to stay cool. The temperatures were monitored in real time by air quality sensors installed during the pandemic, allowing parents to track classroom conditions. The Mather Elementary School in Dorchester was highlighted as one of eight Boston schools that officials say do not have air conditioning. Parents say the heat is unsafe and leaves students drowsy and unfocused, undermining instruction. Ashlyn Rizzo, whose 7-year-old attends Mather, collected signatures on a petition to bring air conditioning to the school. Officials have said the heat has created challenges in some classrooms, particularly in buildings lacking cooling systems. The story focuses on the impact of extreme heat on students and staff and the urgency some families feel about upgrading infrastructure to ensure comfortable, safe learning environments.
