Temperature Control. The Board shall make a good faith effort to have work areas properly ventilated. The Board will make a good faith effort to maintain temperatures in all work areas between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If such is not reasonably possible, the teacher may move his/her class to an area that is more suitable. No one will be required to teach in an area that endangers their health, safety or well-being, however, this does not obviate the person’s responsibility to safeguard the children in their care. In the event that the temperature in any building exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, including the heat index, for (2) consecutive school days and the most recent forecast predicts the same or greater temperature for a third day, the District shall implement its emergency closing procedures for the third day, and every consecutive school day thereafter on which the temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit including the heat index. Once the building temperature falls to 90 degrees including the heat index or below, school shall resume (in the absence of other emergency circumstances) and the “two consecutive school day” condition must be met anew before the District emergency closing procedure must be implemented again. The temperature will be taken between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon and will be witnessed by a building administrator and building Association rep. If the parties cannot agree on the temperature, XxxxXxxxxxx.xxx will be used as an objective tie-breaking measurement. The Board shall make a good faith effort to have work areas properly ventilated.
