Good morning, Mike here with Chalkbeat New York.
We hope you had a good holiday weekend! The worst of the heat wave has now leveled off. But temperatures spiked last week right as New York City’s Summer Rising program was kicking off. We want to hear how it affected your programs. Did you end up inside for all or most of the day? How were the air conditioners working in your schools? Let us know at [email protected].
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
