As the new school year approaches, Fulton County Schools are preparing to keep classrooms cool amid rising temperatures. The district has a significant task ahead, with 16 million square feet of space to maintain a comfortable temperature. A parent, Jessica Casey, is taking steps to ensure her child stays cool, including applying sunscreen and packing water bottles with ice and Gatorade.

The school district is also working to address the heat concern, although specific details of their efforts are not provided. Further information on the district's preparations can be found through Atlanta News First, which reported on the district's actions to keep its 85,000 students cool.
