SCHOOL BUS AIR CONDITIONING:
We wanted to update summer families in regards to how our bus air conditioning systems work. A school bus AC unit is only capable of cooling the bus up to 20° lower than the feels-like temperature. For example, the feels like the temperature of . .
• 85 degrees outside of the bus feels like 65 degrees inside the bus.
• 95 degrees outside of the bus feels like 75 degrees inside the bus.
• 105 degrees outside of the bus feels like 85 degrees inside the bus.
To this end, please make sure your students are dressed appropriately for the bus ride. If a sweatshirt is needed due to colder temperatures in the building, please have them bring one to school. We will also supply bottled water on buses on extremely hot days.
If you feel uncomfortable with the weather, please feel free to keep your child home during these warmer-than-normal days.
