Atlanta Public Schools has taken steps to protect student-athletes from the heat by moving after-school sports indoors. This decision comes as doctors warn about the risks of heat-related illnesses during the current extreme heat.

The move is part of a statewide policy that governs school athletics in extreme heat and humidity. Local athletic directors are working to ensure the policy is followed, prioritizing the safety of students.

Further details on the policy and its implementation are available, including information on how schools are adjusting to the new guidelines.
