'Health and safety comes first': Heat forces closure of some Northeast Ohio schools

Position: Reporter

Heat and air quality advisories forced some schools to close Tuesday. Some districts said the conditions were too dangerous for staff and students inside buildings without air conditioning.In Avon Lake, five of the district’s seven school buildings lack air conditioning and were closed because of the weather.“It gets real uncomfortable real quick, so I can’t imagine trying to coral 23, 24 kindergartners in a space like this,” said Avon Lake Operations Director Ned Lauver.

RELATED: Avon Lake City Schools to put bond issue, operating levy on November ballotThe bond issue would pay for a new pre-K-through-5 elementary school, one new K-5 school and a new 6-8 middle school. It would also allow the district to improve the existing Avon Lake High School.“Air conditioning is one part of that, but more importantly it’s to be able to provide the most updated spaces so we can educate our kids for their future,” Magyar explained.
