Temperatures reach high 80s in Bronx public school without air conditioning

New York City schoolchildren are sweating out another sweltering summer in classrooms without air conditioning.

“It’s brutal every year,” said Shawanda Weems, an English teacher at PS/MS 15 in the University Heights section of the Bronx, who recorded indoor temps as high as 88 degrees this week. “Last week a little 5-year-old just kept waving her hand, because she was sweating,” Weems said.
