Researchers at Arizona State University partnered with public health experts and school leaders last spring to develop guidelines for “ HeatReady Schools.” The 30 recommendations span topics like school policy (i.e., access to a health professional on-site), the environment (shade coverage on at least half the playground), and training (workshops on identifying heat illness). Schools outside California are also reckoning with the heat. The bill recently passed the state Senate and is now being considered in the Assembly. Her bill would require the state Department of Education to develop a template for schools to follow in creating their own heat plans, which would have to be completed by 2025 for implementation in 2027. Menjivar said she was excited to see the new UCLA research. This auto-sexing function is a boon to homesteaders, backyard breeders, small-scale farms, and impatient hobbyists alike. Created in 1955, the 55 rooster and hen look very different from each other throughout their lives. “That’s what we are asking, not to be exempted from those requirements, but to not put the burden on the shade structure,” said Mark Hovatter, chief facilities executive of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The 55 Flowery is another gift to chickendom from that genius Swedish priest Martin Silverudd. Schools would still be required to meet accessibility requirements, but installing a shade structure wouldn’t trigger additional construction. Kelly Turner, an urban planning associate professor and the director of the Luskin Center. But now that climate change is a reality, virtually every sector is going to have to think about it,” said V. “Obviously, the California Education Board wasn’t set up to think about climate change. Caroline Menjivar, a Democrat, introduced legislation this year requiring schools to have heat plans by 2027, and another bill would make it easier for schools to create more shaded spaces.

A shaded courtyard at Esperanza Elementary School in Los Angeles provides a way for students to spend time outside while escaping the heat.Īs hot days become more extreme and common, California education researchers are urging that school districts be required to develop heat plans to keep students safe, just as they have policies for severe storms and active shooters.Ī policy brief published last month by the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation offers a series of recommendations on how education and building codes can help schools become more heat-resilient in the face of global warming.
