It seems like an elementary school. So you can’t simply dismiss the students. Parents would have to be called to come get them which would be a massive disruption to more than just the school day. Some parents might not be able to get their kids/have back up to pick them up. Best to just move the kids to another location until the coast is clear. Kids do NOT care about the temperature outside.

It seems like an elementary school. So you can’t simply dismiss the students. Parents would have to be called to come get them which would be a massive disruption to more than just the school day. Some parents might not be able to get their kids/have back up to pick them up. Best to just move the kids to another location until the coast is clear. Kids do NOT care about the temperature outside.
