Extreme heat is causing significant disruptions for New York City’s public schools as the end of the school year approaches. With temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, many students have had to switch classrooms because of broken air conditioning units. Graduations have been moved indoors, and some activities have been canceled, leading to concerns for student health. Although the education department directed moving outdoor activities indoors, not all spaces, particularly gyms, are air-conditioned. The situation highlights systemic issues with classroom cooling, despite the city's investment in air conditioning.
