Wonderful:
"The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston has issued a Heat Advisory, which is in effect from 9 AM this morning to 9 PM CDT this evening. * EVENT...Heat Index of 105 to 110."

My daughter has not had outdoor recess since starting 5th grade last week Wednesday (Aug. 15). The school nurse has deemed the heat index is too high for the kids to be safe, especially as the 2 playgrounds at the school have no shade, and one is nearly all metal. She said not until the heat index drops to 95 can the kids have outdoor recess. Right now it is 81 degree, heat index of 90, and the sun hasn't even risen yet.

I am glad her school is taking the childrens' health seriously, but apparently indoor recess is super boring according to my daughter. They have no plans for it; the kids are full of pent-up energy. Living in this area of TX, it may be over a month until the heat index drops below 95. The school nurse never did this before. I don't know if it is district-wide policy now and affects all the elementary schools or just my daughter's. I understand not wanting a child to get heat-stroke, but they need to have something fun & stimulating planned for all these days of indoor recess.
