Schools in Providence will close an hour early today and afternoon kindergarten has been cancelled. The temperature in the Providence area is expected to reach 96 degrees, breaking the record of 94 degrees set in 1974. Some 23 public school systems and private schools in Rhode Island are closing early today because of the heat and humidity. Cranston canceled school. Some schools in Connecticut and Massachusetts are also closing early. The Providence School Department issued an advisory yesterday, saying it had scheduled classes as usual today, but was keeping a close watch on the students and would provide them with water bottles to keep them hydrated. Check a list for other early closings. Posted by Jack Perry CommentsConcerned Mom | June 10, 2008 12:08 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Is there a certain temperature that must be reached before all public schools that do not have airconditioning must close? I find it hard to believe that children can concentrate in this heat.
