Prioritizing Student Safety
According to District Convenor Kailash Sharma and District President Prahlad Fatkya of the RPSC Teachers Forum, the current school day runs from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A heat wave begins at ten o’clock, so keeping students in class until one o’clock in the afternoon increases the likelihood that they will become sick.
