EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — The high temperatures around the state prompted some school districts to have early dismissals Monday, and likely for other days this week as the heat continues.
The lack of air conditioning in the schools was the primary factor in officials making the call to let students go home.
On top of the heat, teachers and students will also be dealing with wearing masks in the classrooms today.
"Actually they were very upset, I would love to stay home and do homeschool," Elizabeth Negron, a parent, said about her kids. "No, you have to get to school because I have a lot of things to do."
