GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Thousands of Kent County students will again be dismissed from school early on Tuesday, Sept. 26, due to concerns about heat, officials say.

Ten of the 20 districts that make up the Kent ISD announced half-days Monday, including Rockford, Northview, Grandville, Lowell, Caledonia, Kenowa Hills, Comstock Park, Cedar Springs, Thornapple Kellogg, and Kent City.

This will be the second consecutive early release this week for all the districts except Kent City.

On Monday, the region saw its fifth consecutive day of 90-plus-degree weather. Students in 12 of the 20 Kent districts went home early. A handful of charter and faith-based schools also are closing early.

So far, 12 of the 20 school districts that make of the Kent ISD have announced they will dismiss students early Monday due to the heat. Hope Academy of West Michigan is close.

Superintendents say they understand that early dismissals can be a difficult adjustment for parents but they want to keep children safe and maintain a productive learning environment.

"Certainly makes it difficult on all families, but without  A/C hot classrooms are not conducive to learning - or teaching,'' said Northview Superintendent Scott Korpak.

Tuesday is expected to be the last day of the unusually hot weather with reports temperatures could reach 90 degrees with a heat index of 89 degrees. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, the temperature is projected to be in the mid-70s.
Dr. Andrew Weise, an emergency room doctor and Mercy Health, said he thinks districts are on the right track in monitoring indoor/outdoor temperatures and symptoms experienced by children to guide decisions about early dismissal or closure.

"Some may think it is overkill, but we should be concerned about hot classrooms and buses like we get concerned about kids being left in hot cars,'' said Dr. Weise, about some who feel kids should toughen up.

"We are learning a lot more about the dangers of heat and dehydration. Those in a hot environment can become light-headed and experience headaches, nausea and dizziness.''

Kenowa Hills Superintendent Gerald Hopkins said Sunday that several students got headaches and experienced other heat-related symptoms, which factored into the decision to dismiss early.
