Schools Closing Due to Heat
Parents given just minutes to make arrangements.
According to Philadelphia School District spokesperson Fernando Gallard, Philadelphia schools are closing early due to heat today, and all after-school activities are cancelled.
Parents at Greenfield received a call at 11:50 informing them the school would close at 12:15 — less than half an hour’s notice. McCall School is also reportedly closing at the same time. The district announced city-wide closings at noon, with 15 minutes to spare.
