| DC public schools should all be made to keep students inside today. My kids are really suffering and I debated keeping them home today. Worried that my kid’s teacher will send them outside anyway. |

| It’s code red in dc at the moment (for context)! |

| Please just keep your kid home. I want my kid to go outside. |

| I don't know if it's just where I am and something else is going on (EOTP upper NW) but the air smells like something is burning. |

Interested. How are they "suffering"? Do they have asthma? I'm not being facetious. |

| Our ES sent an email saying they are awaiting guidance from DCPS. |

The EPA guidance calls for significantly curtailed or cancelled outdoor activities today due to the AQI index. The AQI has entered the "unhealthy" zone for all in much of the city: https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#12.89/38.92039/-77.0567
The EPA guidance says over 200 AQI is very unhealthy and all outdoor activities should be cancelled. https://www.airnow.gov/sites/default/files/2018-09/air-quality-and-outdoor-activity-guidance-2014.pdf |

| The air quality is code red. You can see it and smell it. Asthma inhalers are nearby. |

What a disaster of a city and school system. Did Sidwell cancel everything by any chance? |

?? Are you all mad that they cancelled outdoor activities? |
