School buses arrive to pick up kids at Cory Elementary School who will be leaving school early on Sept. 7, 2022 in Denver. Cory is one of more than 30 public schools in Denver without air conditioning that are releasing students early this week or closing entirely due to the record-breaking heat wave sweeping through Colorado. Some of these schools were supposed to have cooling systems installed this summer, Denver Public Schools spokesman Scott Pribble said, but supply chain issues stalled the project. DPS hopes to have some of them completed by the end of September. 脪Mitigation strategies in place aren't expected to work like we hoped,脫 Pribble said, noting that the district has portable air conditioning units and large fans. 脪Because of that, we're making the decision to shut down early.脫 (Photo by Helen H.
