W-L High School Dismissed Early Due to Air Conditioning Issue

A problem with the air conditioning at Washington Liberty High School is prompting an early dismissal.

With temperatures expected to climb into the mid-90s today, school administrators decided to send students home at 10:40 a.m. rather than have them stay in increasingly warm classrooms.

More via a letter sent to W-L families from the school’s principal:

Washington-Liberty Families and Staff:

The HVAC system at W-L is currently not working properly. Based on forecasted temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, we have made the decision to dismiss students at 10:40 a.m. Transportation will pick up bus riders at that time as well.

All after school athletic events will go on as planned unless those families hear from their coach.

The health and safety of our students and staff is our primary focus. Facilities has crews at the school to repair HVAC system and we will update you on operations for tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience and disruption to the schedule.

Please call the office if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Gregg Robertson,
Principal
