[quote=Anonymous] Schools are more polluted than the majority of homes. They need to keep doors open to an influx of students. The gyms get really hot, and teachers open those windows. Some teachers, like my kid's teacher, ignore the air quality alerts and bring their students outside (my kid had to rehearse their play outside today, despite the children's protests!). I agree that schools should close on Code Red days. They can stay open on Code Orange days. The reason I say this is that Code Red days will become a lot more prevalent with global warming. Snow days will decrease. It's just the new risk we need to adjust to, and protect our children from. The only way we can have school on Code Red days is if we equip public schools with reliable ventilation and air filters, and procedures for not keeping doors/windows wide open for hours, which for the moment is not happening, even in the wealthiest school districts.
