Extra Water and Sports Canceled at Schools Due to Heat Wave

Extra water jugs were positioned at Concord High School on Tuesday as indoor temperatures reached above 80 degrees throughout the five-story brick.

High school principal Tim Herbert sent an email to parents with a list of precautions to take when sending their children to school this week, which included wearing light clothing and sending them to classes with refillable water bottles to utilize the water stations.

In addition, many after school athletic activities were canceled.

To prepare for the heat, windows were opened at night to keep the building cool for students arriving in the mornings and sporting events were canceled in the afternoons.
