make schools close when the temperature reaches 26°c

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe 26 degrees Celsius is hot enough for any school to close.

By signing this petition you could be helping hundreds of thousands of children in the hot summer months.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Make a legal temperature where it is too hot to attend work or school.
